Then sing we all, both great and small, Noel, Noel, Noel. We may rejoice to hear the voice of angel Gabriel.
Verse 2
Ma ry an on looked him up on and said, "Sir, what are ye? I mar vel much at tidings such as thou has brought to me. Prom ised I am to Jo seph, so fell the lot to me: there fore, I pray, de part a way, I stand in doubt of thee."
Verse 3
This came to pass as God's will was e'en as the an gel told. About mid night an an gel bright came to the shep herd's fold, and told them then both where and when born was the child our Lord, and all a long was this their song: "All glo ry be to God."
