CAN YOU HEAR THE ANGELS SINGING?
by Pearl Sturgis

ONCE A BABY IN A MANGER
LAY SO SOFTLY ON THE HAY,
FOR HIS MOTHER WAS A STRANGER
THE INN KEEPER TURNED AWAY,

BUT HIS FATHER WAS IN HEAVEN,
HOSTS OF ANGELS SWINGING LOW
WHEN THE SWEETEST GIFT WAS GIVEN
'TWAS TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO.

NOW THE CHRISTMAS BELLS ARE RINGING
AS WE CELEBRATE CHRIST'S BIRTH.
CAN YOU HEAR THE ANGELS SINGING,
HALLELUJAH, PEACE ON EARTH?

HE HAS LEFT THAT GOLDEN CITY.
WHAT A WEARY PATH HE'LL TROD!
HE CAME DOWN IN LOVE AND PITY.
HE'S THE VERY SON OF GOD!

AS WE'RE SHOPPING FOR OUR LOVED ONES
IN OUR DECORATED TOWNS ,,,
CAN YOU HEAR THE ANGELS SINGING
MIDST THE HAPPY BUSTLING SOUNDS?

HEAR THE ANGELS SWEETLY SINGING
OF THAT CHRISTMAS LONG AGO ...
WHILE GOOD TIDINGS WE ARE BRINGING
WITH EACH TINY CHRISTMAS BOW.
