Shake off your drowsy sleep, Rise and leave your silly sheep; Angels from heaven loud are singing;1 Tidings of great joy are bringing. Shepherds! The [Chorus] come and swell! Sing Noel! Sing Noel! 2. Hark? Even now the bells ring round, Listen to their merry sound; Hark! How the birds new songs are making As if the winter's chains were breaking. 3. See how the flowers all burst anew, Thinking snow is summer dew; See how the stars afresh are glowing, All their brightest beams bestowing. 4. Cometh at length the age of peace, Strife and sorrow now shall cease; Prophets foretold the wondrous story Of this Heaven-born Prince of Glory. 5. Shepherds! Then up and quick away, Seek the Babe ere break of day; He is the hope of every nation, All in Him shall find salvation. 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 #
