A shepherd band their flocks

Hymnal: VoP1883 #346 (1883) Tune Title: [A shepherd band their flocks are keeping] 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.

Ten thousand times ten thousand

Hymnal: VoP1883 #321 (1883) Meter: Irregular Tune Title: ALFORD Lyrics: 1 Ten thousand times ten thousand, In sparkling raiment bright, The armies of the ransomed saints Throng up the steeps of light. 'Tis finished! all is finished, Their fight with death and sin; Fling open wide the golden gates, And let the victors in. 2 What rush of Alleluias Fills all the earth and sky! What ringing of a thousand harps Bespeaks the triumph nigh! O day, for which creation And all its tribes were made! O joy for all its former woes A thousand-fold repaid. 3 Oh, then what raptured greetings On Canaan's happy shore, What knitting severed friendships up, Where partings are no more! Then eyes with joy shall sparkle That brimmed with tears of late; Orphans no longer fatherless, Nor widows desolate. 4 Bring near the great salvation, Thou Lamb for sinners slain, Fill up the roll of Thine elect; Then take Thy power and reign: Appear, Desire of nations, Thine exiles long for home: Show in the heavens Thy promised sign; Thou Prince and Saviour, come. Amen. Topics: Festivals Languages: English

Amen. Topics: Hymns for Little Children Languages: English
