Shepherds in the Field Abiding (Ed. Wood)

by Choir Of King's College, Cambridge

Lyrics
Shepherd in the field abiding
Tell us when the Seraph bright
Greeted you with marvellous tidings
What he saw at earliest light

Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo

We beheld it is no fable
God incarnate, King of bliss
Swathed and cradled in a stable
And the angels' strain was this

Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo

Quirine stars on high were singing
Jesus at his virgin birth
Heavenly bells a-choir ringing
Peace, goodwill to men on earth

Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo

Thanks, good herdmen, true your story
And with you to Bethlehem
Angels hymn the King of Glory
Carole we with you and them

Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
