[Video+Lyrics] Let the Bright Seraphim

LYRICS

Recitative: Let the cherubic host, in tuneful choirs,
Touch their immortal harps with golden wires.

Solo: Let the bright seraphim
in burning row,
Their loud, uplifted angel trumpets blow.

Let the cherubic host,
in tuneful choirs,
Touch their immortal harps
with golden wires.

LYRICS

RECITATIVE. (Soprano): There were shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

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

And the angel said unto the, 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, which is Christ the Lord.

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

CHORUS: Glory to God! Glory to God!
Glory to God in the highest,
And peace on earth.
Goodwill towards men.

LYRICS

The trumpet’s loud clangor
Excites us to arms,
With shrill notes of anger,
And mortal alarms.
The double, double, double beat
Of the thund’ring drum
Cries: “Hark! the foes come;
Charge, charge! ‘Tis too late to retreat.”
