emanuel - william billings lyrics

as shepherds in darkness were guarding their sheep
promiscuously seated estranged from sleep;
an angel from heaven presented to view
and thus he accosted the trembling few
dispel all your sorrows, and banish your fears;
for jesus your savior this day does appear
dispel all your sorrows, and banish your fears;
for jesus your savior this day does appear

tho’ adam the first in rebellion was found
forbidden to tarry on hallowed ground;
yet adam the second appears to retrieve
the loss you sustained by the devil & eve
then shepherds b e tranquil this instant a rise
go visit your savior & see where he lies
then shepherds be tranquil this instant arise
go visit your savior & see where he lies

a token i leave you where by you may find
this heavenly stranger this friend to mankind;
a manger’s his cradle a stall his abode
the oxen are near him and blow on your god
then shepherds be humble, be meek and lie low
for jesus, your savior’s abundantly so
then shepherds be humble, be meek and like low
for jesus your savior’s abundantly so
this wonderous story fierce cool’d on the ear
when thousands of angels in glory appear;
they join in the concert & this was the theme
all glory to god & good will towards men
then shepherd strike injoin your voice to the choir
and catch a few sparks of celes tial fire
then shepherd strike injoin your voice to the choir
and catch a few sparks of cecles tial fire

hosanna! the angels in ecstasy cry
hosanna! the wonde ring shepherds reply;
salvation, redemption are centered in one
all glory to god for the birth of his son
then shepherds adieu we commend you to god
go visit the son in his humble abode
then shepherds adieu we commend you to god
go visit the son in his humble abode

to bethlehem city the shepherds repaired
for full confirmation of what they had heard;
they enter’d the stable with aspect so mild
and there they beheld the mother & child
then make proclamation divulge it a broad
that gentle and simple may hear of the lord
then make proclamation divulge it abroad
that gentle and simple may hear of the lord
