Author: Alice Jean Cleator Hymnal: The Service of Praise #153 (1900) First Line: Long, long ago, some shepherds Refrain First Line: O shepherds, hasten onward Lyrics: 1 Long, long ago, some shepherds,
Out on Judean plains,
Heard, from within the heavens,
Sweetest of angel strains.

O shepherds, hasten onward,
Beneath the starry dome;
For lo! The promised Saviour—
The Prince of Peace is come!
O shepherds, hasten onward
And join the glorious song,
Of “Glory to God,
Glory to God,
Glory be to God.”

Bowed low in deep amaze;
Hear what the hosts are singing,
From out the starry ways. [Refrain]
3 Lo! ’Tis a shining angel,
Bids you this wond’ring cease,
List to the herald’s tidings,
’Tis of the Prince of Peace. [Refrain]
4 See! ’Tis a flaming splendor,
Follow its guiding light,
Joyful, O shepherds, hasten,
On thro’ illumined night. [Refrain]
5 On to the Holy City,
Where in a rapture sweet,
Kneel, and with angels worship,
There at the Saviour’s feet. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Long, long ago, some shepherds]
