Advent Carol - Aaron Shust, Георг Фридрих Гендель

No more sadness now, nor fasting

Now we put our grief away;

God came down, the Everlasting

Taking human flesh to-day

God came down on earth a stranger

Working out His mighty plan;

God was cradled in a manger

Very God and very man

There were shepherds once abiding

In the field to watch by night

And they saw the clouds dividing;

And the sky above was bright

And a glory shone around them

On the grass as they wore laid;

And a holy Angel found them

And their hearts were sore afraid

«Fear ye not,» he said, «for cheerful

Are the tidings that I bring

Unto you, so weak and fearful

Christ is born, the Lord and King»

As the Angel told the story

Of the Saviour’s lowly birth

Multitudes were singing «Glory

Be to God, and peace on earth.»

Angel choir sing Hallelujah

God’s redeeming love proclaim

Let Thy Church, in every nation

Sing the glory of Thy name

Angel choir sing Hallelujah

God’s redeeming love proclaim

Let Thy Church, in every nation

Sing the glory of Thy name

Sing the glory of Thy name
