By St. John of Damascus, 780 A.D.
| Bethlehem rejoices! Hark the voices clear, Singing in the starlight Nearer and more near. Unto God be glory, Peace to men be given; This His will who dwelleth In the heights of heaven. |
| Heaven cannot contain Him, Nor the bounds of earth, Yet, oh glorious mystery! Virgin gives Him birth. Unto God be glory, Peace to men be given; This His will who dwelleth In the heights of heaven. |
| 69 Now the light ariseth In the darkened skies, Now the proud are humbled And the lowly rise. Unto God be glory, Peace to men be given; This His will who dwelleth In the heights of heaven. |
