A shepherd band their flocks are keeping, And gentle lambs are sweetly sleeping; When suddenly they all behold An angel in bright robes with harp of gold. 2. Glad tidings of great joy he bringeth, The azure vault with anthems ringeth; "Emmanuel" awakes the song, And countless hosts the glorious theme prolong. 3. "To you this day is born a Saviour, Your Prophet, Priest, and King forever;" "All glory be to God," they cry; "All glory be to God," let earth reply. 4. On earth be peace with mercy blending, Good-will to men, and love unending;" Thus sweetly sing the angel throng, And all the heavenly host rehearse the song. 5. Through field and wood the song resoundeth, O'er hill and vale the [Chorus] boundeth; Exultingly the echoes roll., And hymns of triumph spread from pole to pole. 6. The shepherds view the host returning, Their hearts with holy ardour burning; To Bethlehem they wend their way, Repeating with glad tongues th'angelic lay. 7. In haste they seek the heavenly Stranger; They find the Babe laid in a manger; With wonder and with awe they fall, And joyfully adore Him, Lord of All! 8. Now every voice with rapture swelleth, For Christ the Lord with mortals dwelleth; Let men and angels Him adore, And shout their glad Hosannas evermore.
