On Judah's plains as shepherds kept

Author: Nahum Tate Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 On Judah’s plains as shepherds kept, Watch o'er their flocks by night, The angel of the Lord appeared, Clad in celestial light. 2 Awe-struck the vision they regard, Appalled with trembling fear; When thus a cherub-voice divine Breathed sweetly on their ear: 3 “Shepherds of Judah! cease your fears, And calm your troubled mind; Glad tidings of great joy I bring To you and all mankind. 4 “This day Almighty Love fulfills Its great eternal word; This day is born in Bethlehem A Savior, Christ the Lord. 5 There shall you find the heav'nly babe In humblest weeds arrayed; All meanly wrapped in swaddling clothes, And in a manger laid. 6 He ceased, and sudden all around Appeared a radiant throng Of angels, praising God, and thus They sang their choral song: 7 "Glory to God, from whom on high All gracious mercies flow! Who sends His heav’n-descended peace To dwell with man below." Topics: The Church Year Christmas Used With Tune: COWPER

The triumphs of His grace! 2 My gracious Master, and my God, Assist me to proclaim, To spread thro' all the earth abroad The honors of Thy name, The honors of Thy name. 3 Jesus! the name that calms our fears, That bids our sorrows cease— 'Tis music to my ravished ears, 'Tis life and health and peace, 'Tis life and health and peace. 4 He breaks the power of reigning sin, He sets the pris'ner free; His blood can make the vilest clean: His blood availed for me! His blood availed for me! Topics: Book One: Hymns, Songs, Chorales; Jesus Christ Adoration, Praise of Scripture: Psalm 35:28 Used With Tune: FOUNTAIN
