1. Hark, what music fills creation,
Circling thro' the boundless sky,
Sheperds, fill'd with consternation,
Hear seraphic harmony.
2. See them, from the Realms of Glory,
Shedding lustre o'er the morn;
While they chant the wondrous story
Of the great Messiah born!
3. Go to Bethl'em: in a manger.
There you'll see the Saviour King;
Come and praise the Heav'nly Stranger,
Make the whole creation ring.
