As The World Around Was Sleeping

Author: Horace L. Hastings Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9559 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 As the world around was sleeping, In the calm and silent night; While the shepherds watch were keeping Came an angel robed in light. 2 Gazing on his matchless splendor, They were troubled and dismayed; But in accents kind and tender, Soon He said, Be not afraid. 3 Lo! to you I bring good tidings, Words of peace to all your race; For in Bethlehem abiding Now is born the Prince of Grace. 4 Would you know the royal Stranger? By this sign you may be sure: Ye shall find Him in a manger, Wrapped in swaddling garments poor. 5 Hark! Heaven’s hosts take up the story, Praising God o’er Bethlehem’s plain; Glory in the highest, glory; Peace on earth, good will to men. 6 We would join the rapturous story, Swell the angels’ lofty strain, Glory in the highest, glory; Worthy is the Lamb once slain. Languages: English Tune Title: ANGEL'S SONG
