EN 3629 A Shepherd Band Their Flocks

Luke.2.9

Versi Version 1

1

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;

Immanuel awakes the song,

And countless hosts the glorious theme prolong.

3

“To you, this day, is born a Savior,

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,

Goodwill to men, and love unending”;

Thus sweetly sing the angel throng,

And all the heav’nly 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 ardor burning;

To Bethlehem they wend their way,

Repeating with glad tongues th’angelic lay.

7

In haste they seek the heav’nly 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 loud hosannas evermore.
