Tune: Yorkshire
('Christians wake, salute the happy morn')
Luke 2 v.15-20
**********
When angels to the shepherds they had been
Shepherds glorious night scene they had seen
They said to one another, Let us go
Now unto Bethlehem, then we shall know
And see this thing that is sure come to pass
Which the Lord wondrous has told unto us
And they came with haste, found Joseph, Mary
With the babe Jesus, in manger He be
And when they had seen, they did then make known
All that the angel host had to them shown
The saying concerning the child Jesus
That He is born a Saviour unto us
And that they would find Him in manger laid
There wrapped up, laying, and humble displayed
They shared the tidings of great joy to men
And all that heard these things did wonder then
But Mry kept all these things, and pondered
Them in her heart, each event and each word
Then the shepherds returned, glorifying
And praising God, rejoicing in each things
That they had heard, and what too they had seen
As the angel's word to them it had been
Telling of Christ, His birth into this world
God's will and plan to mankind here unfurled
