Angels' Song

Verse 1

Rejoice, ye shepherds, lift your eyes, And send your fear away! Good news from regions of the skies: A Saviour’s born today. Our Saviour makes His entrance here, But not as mortals do; Lord Jesus whom the angels fear Is come to dwell with you.

Verse 2

No gold, no purple swaddling bands, No 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!

Verse 3

Thus Gabriel sings, and all around The heav’nly armies throng; They tune their harps to lofty sound, And thus conclude their song: All glory to the Lord our God! Let peace surround the earth; Let all men know their Maker’s love At their Redeemer’s birth.
