Hearken, All! What Holy Singing

Hearken

all! what ho­ly sing­ing

Now is sound­ing from the sky!

’Tis a hymn with grand­eur ring­ing

Sung by voic­es clear and high.

Gloria in ex­cel­sis Deo

Gloria in ex­cel­sis Deo.

On the plain

the sim­ple shep­herds

Watched their flocks the long night through;

From on high they heard the voic­es

Sounding through the heav’n­ly blue.

See

with­in the man­ger low­ly

Wide the Christ Child spreads His arms.

Raise to Him your joy­ful voic­es

Sing we all No­el

No­el.
