for, behold, bring you good tidingS of great
joy, which shall be to all people.
Ii For unto you is born this day in the city
of David, Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
II And this shall be sign unto you; Ye
shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling
clothes, lying in manger.

multi de of the heavenly host praising God
and saying.
II Glory to God in the highest, and on earth
