From the lips of angels spoken

1From the lips of angels spoken, Tell the song with falling dews;
Was there ever silence broken
With such joyous welcome news?

2Startled shepherds, all awaking,
Hear the long the angels sing;
And their frightened flocks forsaking,
Go to seek the Saviour-King.

3Son of God, in manger lowly,
Prince of light and Lord of love;
King of heaven, high and holy,
Boon on earth from courts above!

4We exalt thee, we adore thee,
We rejoice, and praise thy name;
Every knee shall bend before thee,
Every tongue thy love proclaim.
