| Sweet is the fragrance of myrtle and pine | A |
| Sweeter the incense we offer to thee | D |

| Angels of Bethlehem answer the strain | A |
| Hark a new birth song is filling the sky | E |
| Loud as the storm wind that tumbles the main | A |
| Bid the full breath of the organ reply | E |
| Let the loud tempest of voices reply | E |
| Roll its long surge like the earth shaking main | A |
| Swell the vast song till it mounts to the sky | E |
| Angels of Bethlehem echo the strain | A |
