Shepherds in the fields abiding / Joseph Edmund Mills

SOURCE - CPDL
FOR - SATB

Shepherds in the field abiding,
Tell us when the seraph bright
Greeted you with wondrous tiding,
What you saw and heard that night.

Refrain: Gloria in excelsis Deo, in excelsis gloria.

We beheld--it is no fable--
God incarnate, King of bliss,
Swathed and cradled in a stable,
And the angel strain was this:
Refrain.

Choristers on high were singing
Jesus and His virgin birth,
Heavenly bells the while a-ringing
"Peace, good will to men on earth." 
Refrain.
