The Angel's Message to the Shepherds at Christ's Nativity

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Advent and the Birth of Christ First Line: On Judah's plains as shepherds sat Lyrics: 1 On Judah’s plains as shepherds sat, Watching their flocks by night, The angel of the Lord appear'd, Clad in celestial light. 2 Awe-struck the vision they regard, Appall'd with trembling fear; When thus a cherub-voice divine Breath'd 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 fulfils 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 array'd; All meanly wrapp'd in swaddling clothes, And in a manger laid." 6 He ceas'd, and sudden all around Appear'd a radiant throng Of angels, praising God, and thus Warbling 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."

[Refrain] 5 Give heed, thou sinful people, Thy King and Saviour own; The kingdom He hath founded Is not an earthly one; No power can overthrow it, Nor earthly wisdom know it. [Refrain] 6 The throne which He ascendeth Is fixed in heaven above: His sanctified dominion Is light alone and love. His praise be ever sounding For grace and peace abounding. [Refrain] 7 Jerusalem is fallen, And closed its temple-door; Its sacrifices ended; Its scepter is no more. Christ’s kingdom never ceaseth, Its glory still increaseth. [Refrain] Amen.

We should never be discouraged; take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so faithful, who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness; take it to the Lord in prayer. 3 Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care? Christ the Saviour is our refuge; take it to the Lord in prayer. Do our friends despise, forsake us? Are we tempted to despair? Jesus' strength will shield our weakness, and we'll find new courage there. Used With Tune: FRIENDSHIP
