14. "There were shepherds ... And suddenly there" - Arleen Augér/The English Concert/Trevor Pinnock

Lyrics by：Charles Jennens

Composed by：George Frideric Händel

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

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
