<p>“Shepherds, rejoice! lift up your eyes,<br>
|
|
And send your fears away;<br>
|
|
News from the regions of the skies,<br>
|
|
Salvation’s born today.</p>
|
|
<p>“Jesus, the God Whom angels fear,<br>
|
|
Comes down to dwell with you;<br>
|
|
Today He makes His entrance here,<br>
|
|
But not as monarchs do.</p>
|
|
<p>“No gold nor purple swaddling bands.<br>
|
|
Nor royal shining things;<br>
|
|
A manger for His cradle stands,<br>
|
|
And holds the King of kings.</p>
|
|
<p>“Go, shepherds, where the Infant lies,<br>
|
|
And see His humble throne<br>
|
|
With tears of joy in all your eyes,<br>
|
|
Go, shepherds, kiss the Son.”</p>
|
|
<p>Thus Gabriel sang, and straight around<br>
|
|
The heav’nly armies throng;<br>
|
|
They tune their harps to lofty sound,<br>
|
|
And thus conclude the song:</p>
|
|
<p>“Glory to God that reigns above!<br>
|
|
Let peace surround the earth!<br>
|
|
Mortals shall know their Maker’s love,<br>
|
|
At their Redeemer’s birth.”</p>
|
|
<p>Lord, and shall angels have their songs,<br>
|
|
And men no tunes to raise?<br>
|
|
O may we lose our useless tongues<br>
|
|
When they forget to praise.</p>
|
|
<p>Glory to God that reigns above,<br>
|
|
That pitied us forlorn;<br>
|
|
We join to sing our Maker’s love,<br>
|
|
For there’s a Savior born.</p>
