'Shepherds, rejoice! lift up your eyes And send your fears away; News from the region of the skies: Salvation's born today! Jesus, the God whom angels fear, Comes down to dwell with you; Today he makes his entrance here, But not as monarchs do. 2. 'No gold, nor purple swaddling bands, Nor royal shining things; A manger for his cradle stands, And holds the King of kings. Go, shepherds, where the Infant lies, And see his humble throne; With tears of joy in all your eyes, Go, shepherds, kiss the Son.' 3. Thus Gabriel sang, and straight around The heavenly armies throng; They tune their harps to lofty sound And thus conclude the song: 'Glory to God that reigns above, Let peace surround the earth; Mortals shall know their Maker's love At their Redeemer's birth.' 4. Lord! and shall angels have their songs And men no tunes to raise? O may we lose these useless tongues When they forget to praise! 'Glory to God that reigns above, That pitied us forlorn!' We join to sing our Maker's love, For there's a Saviour born. Browse Carols: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z # |
