Shepherds Rejoice

"Shepherds, rejoice! lift up your eyes,
And send your fears away;
News from the regions of the skies,
Salvation’s born today,
Salvation’s born today,
Salvation’s born today.

Chorus
    Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
    Hallelujah! Amen!
    Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
    Hallelujah! Amen!


Rise and salute the new-born King,
With angels all conspire;
Wake into joy the silent string
And tune the sounding lyre,
And tune the sounding lyre,
And tune the sounding lyre.

Chorus
    Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
    Hallelujah! Amen!
    Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
    Hallelujah! Amen!

Here comes the Lord of sovereign grace
To bless the poor below;
To guide our feet into the place
Where milk and honey flow,
Where milk and honey flow,
Where milk and honey flow.

Chorus
    Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
    Hallelujah! Amen!
    Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
    Hallelujah! Amen!

Then for his love we will rejoice,
In songs of joy and praise;
Strike every string, shout every voice
Through everlasting days,
Through everlasting days,
Through everlasting days.

Chorus
    Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
    Hallelujah! Amen!
    Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
    Hallelujah! Amen!
