Long Ago Lyrics


Christmas Carols

Long Ago Lyrics
1. Night had fallen darkly
O'er Judea's hill;
Shepherds watched in silence,
All the flocks were still;
Light dispell'd the darkness,
Light, than day more fair,
Lo! a mighty angel,
Stood in glory there.

[Chorus:]
Long ago, long ago,
Came that angel bright,
"Fear ye not! Fear ye not!"
Rang across the night.
Long ago, long ago,
O'er a bed of hay,
Angels fair, in the air,
Watch'd where Jesus lay.

2. Shepherds of Judea,
Watching flocks by night;
Patient, gentle watchers.
Trembled at the light,
Trembled when the glory
O'er the hillside spread,
Trembled, till the angel,
"Fear not," sweetly said. [Chorus].

3. Hosts of shining angels
Joined the herald bright;
Legions from the glory,
Came that wondrous night --
Came with alleluias,
For a Saviour born;
Came to tell the weary
Of redemption's morn. [Chorus].
