《Methinks I see an heav’nly host》歌词

[00:00:00] Methinks I See an Heav'nly Host - Taverner Choir

[00:00:02] Methinks I see a heavenly host

[00:00:05] Of angels on the wing

[00:00:08] Methinks I hear their chearful notes

[00:00:11] So merrily they sing

[00:00:13] So merrily they sing

[00:00:18] 'Let all your fears be banish'd hence

[00:00:21] Glad tidings I proclaim

[00:00:24] For there's a saviour born to day

[00:00:27] And jesus is his name

[00:00:30] And jesus is his name

[00:00:34] Lay down your crooks and quit your flocks

[00:00:37] To bethlehem repair

[00:00:40] And let your wand'ring steps be squared

[00:00:43] By yonder shining star

[00:00:46] By yonder shining star

[00:00:50] Seek not in courts or palaces

[00:00:54] Nor royal curtains draw

[00:00:57] But search the stable see your god

[00:01:00] Extended on the straw

[00:01:03] Extended on the straw

[00:01:08] Then learn from hence ye rural swains

[00:01:11] The meekness of your god

[00:01:14] Who left the boundless realms of joy

[00:01:17] To ransom you with blood

[00:01:20] To ransom you with blood

[00:01:24] The master of the inn refus'd

[00:01:27] A more commodius place

[00:01:30] Ungenerous soul of savage mould

[00:01:33] And destitute of grace

[00:01:35] And destitute of grace

[00:01:40] Exult ye oxen low for joy

[00:01:43] Ye tenants of the stall

[00:01:46] Pay your obeisance on your knees

[00:01:49] Unanimously fall

[00:01:52] Unanimously fall

[00:01:56] The royal fuest you entertain

[00:01:58] Is not of common birth

[00:02:02] But second in the great I am

[00:02:05] The god of heaven and earth'

[00:02:07] The god of heaven and earth'

[00:02:12] Then suddenly a heavenly host

[00:02:15] Around the shepherds throng

[00:02:18] Exulting in the threefold god

[00:02:21] And thus address their song

[00:02:24] And thus address their song

[00:02:28] 'To god the father christ the son

[00:02:31] And holy ghost ador'd

[00:02:34] The first and last the last and first

[00:02:37] Eternal praise afford

[00:02:39] Eternal praise afford
