Suitable till Candlemas.

A GREAT and mighty wonder,
 * A full and holy cure!

The Virgin bears the Infant
 * With virgin-honour pure.


 * Repeat the hymn again!
 * 'To God on high be glory,
 * And peace on earth to men!'

2 The Word becomes incarnate
 * And yet remains on high!

And Cherubim sing anthems
 * To shepherds from the sky.

3 While thus they sing your Monarch,
 * Those bright angelic bands,

Rejoice, ye vales and mountains,
 * Ye oceans clap your hands.
