Hail, glorious morn! whose radiant beams, Looked down on Christ’s nativity, For every year thy presence teems With joy and glad festivity.

On Judea’s plains th’ angelic throng Burst on the shepherds’ awe-struck gaze, And raised on high a new-made song Unto their great Creator’s praise.
The star of Bethlehem’s heavenly light
Oh, may that star’s resplendent light
Till all the people of the earth,
Till superstition’s blighting sway
