A shepherd band their flocks

Hymnal: Voices of Praise #346 (1883) First Line: A shepherd band their flocks are keeping Lyrics: 1 A shepherd band their flocks are keeping, And gentle lambs are sweetly sleeping; When suddenly they all behold An angel in bright robes with harp of gold. 2 Glad tidings of great joy he bringeth, The azure vault with anthems ringeth; "Emmanuel" awakes the song, And countless hosts the glorious theme prolong. 3 "To you this day is born a Saviour, Your Prophet, Priest, and King for ever;" "All glory be to God," they cry; "All glory be to God," let earth reply. 4 "On earth be peace with mercy blending, Good-will to men, and love unending;" Thus sweetly sing the angel throng, And all the heavenly host rehearse the song. 5 Thro' field and wood the song resoundeth, O'er hill and value the chorus boundeth; Exultingly the echoes roll, And hymns of triumph spread from pole to pole. 6 The shepherds view the host returning, Their hearts with holy ardour burning; To Bethlehem they wend their way, Repeating with glad tongues th' angelic lay. 7 In haste they seek the heavenly Stranger; They find the Babe laid in a manger; With wonder and with awe they fall, And joyfully adore Him, Lord of all! 8 Now every voice with rapture swelleth, For Christ the Lord with mortals dwelleth; Let men and angels Him adore, And shout their glad Hosannnas evermore.
