There Were Shepherds - Edison Mixed Quartet (1910)

There were shepherds, there were shepherds
abiding in the field, keeping watch over their
flocks by night, and Lo! And all the angels of
the Lord came upon them.

And the Glory of the Lord shone round
about them. And they were sore afraid.

Song by Dudley Buck

There were shepherds abiding in the field,
Keeping watch over their flock by night,

And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them,
And the glory of the Lord shone round about them,
And they were sore afraid.

And the angel said unto them, Fear not;
For behold, I bring you good tidings
Of great joy, which shall be to all people.

For unto you is born this day, in the city of David,
A Saviour, who is Christ the Lord.

And suddenly there was with the angel,
A multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying:

Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, good will to men.
