| Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? (Job 38:4,7) |
| Suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. (Luke 2:13‑14) |
How rightly rose the praises
Of heaven that wondrous night,
When shepherds hid their faces
In brightest angel-light! |
More just those acclamations
Than when the glorious band
Chanted earth’s deep foundations,
Just laid by God’s right hand. |
