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

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #69 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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." Topics: Christ His Mission and Works; Advent and the Birth of Christ Languages: English
