From the lips of angels spoken
1
From the lips of angels spoken,
Fell the song with falling dews;
Was there ever silence broken
By such joyous welcome news?
Refrain
Chorus.
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Christ is born.
2
Startled shepherds, all awaking,
Hear the song the angels sing,
And their frightened flocks forsaking,
Go to seek the Saviour-king.
3
Son of God, in manger lowly,
Prince of light and Lord of love;
King of heaven, high and holy,
Boon on earth from courts above!
4
We exalt thee, we adore thee,
We rejoice, and praise thy name;
Every knee shall bend before thee,
Every tongue thy love proclaim.
