Overture (Christmas Portrait) |
The first Noel the angel did say |
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; |
In fields where they lay tending their sheep |
On a cold winter’s night that was so deep |
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel |
Born is the King of Israel |
They lookèd up and saw a star |
Shining in the east, beyond them far; |
And to the earth it gave great light |
And so it continued both day and night |
O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie! |
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by |
Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting Light; |
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight |
Glory Gloria |
In excelsios Deo |
