-<poem>
-{{Verse|1}} Like silver lamps in a distant shrine,
-The stars are sparkling bright
-The bells of the city of God ring out,
-For the Son of Mary is born to-night.
-The gloom is past and the morn at last
-Is coming with orient light.
-{{Verse|2}} Never fell melodies half so sweet
-As those which are filling the skies,
-And never a palace shone half so fair
-As the manger-bed where our Saviour lies;
-No night in the year is half so dear
-As this which has ended our sighs.
-{{Verse|3}} Now a new Power has come on the earth,
-A match for the armies of Hell:
-A Child is born who shall conquer the foe,
-And all the spirits of wickedness quell:
-For Mary's Son is the Mighty One
-Whom the prophets of God foretell.
-</poem>

-<poem>
-{{Verse|4}} The stars of heaven still shine as at first
-They gleamed on this wonderful night;
-The bells of the city of God peal out
-And the angels' song still rings in the height,
-And love still turns where the Godhead burns
-Hid in flesh from fleshly sight.
-{{Verse|5}} Faith sees no longer the stable floor,
-The pavement of sapphire is there
-The clear light of heaven streams out to the world
-And the angels of God are crowding the air,
-And heaven and earth through the spotless birth
-Are at peace on this night so fair.
-</poem>
