Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDC EFEF DGD AHAH IJIJ DKD LMNM| The angel host that sped last night | A |
| Bearing the wondrous news afar | B |
| Came in their ever glorious flight | A |
| Unto a slumbering little star | B |

| 'Awake and sing O star ' they cried | C |
| 'Awake and glorify the morn | D |
| Herald the tidings far and wide | C |
| He that shall lead His flock is born ' | - |

| 'Awake O bells 't is Christmas morn | D |
| Awake and let thy music tell | G |
| To all mankind that now is born | D |
| What Shepherd loves His lambkins well ' | - |

| Then rang the bells as fled the night | A |
| O'er dreaming land and drowsing deep | H |
| And coming with the morning light | A |
| They called my child to you asleep | H |
| - | |
| Sweetly and tenderly they spoke | I |
| And lingering round your little bed | J |
| Their music pleaded till you woke | I |
| And this is what their music said | J |
| - | |
| 'Awake and sing 'tis Christmas morn | D |
| Whereon all earth salutes her King | K |
| In Bethlehem is the Shepherd born | D |
| Awake O little lamb and sing ' | - |
| - | |
| So dear my child kneel at my feet | L |
| And with those voices from above | M |
| Share thou this holy time with me | N |
| The universal hymn of love | M |
