Hurry with the shepherds to see the newborn King at the manger! Based on a Polish carol, this new playful setting by Henry V. Gerike is for two-part mixed voices with organ or piano. The accompaniment provides a complementary third voice to the texture making this an easy but effective anthem at Christmas.
Shepherds, come a-running now to Bethlehem;
See the newborn King, the branch of Jesse’s stem.
Glory to God in heaven,
Glory to God in heaven!
Peace on earth,
Peace on earth!
Angel voices sing the message from the sky:
Now to you is born the Savior from on high.
Glory to God in heaven,
Glory to God in heaven!
Peace on earth,
Peace on earth!
Bowing low, we worship Christ our Savior King!
Thankful hearts with joy eternal gladly sing:
Glory to God in heaven,
Glory to God in heaven!
Peace on earth,
Peace on earth!
