Hymnal: AACH2009 #31 (2009) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: William Billings (1746-1800) First Line: Arise, arise, ye mortals all Lyrics: 1. Arise, arise, ye mortals all,
And hail the glorious morn,
And join to celebrate the day,
Our Savior, Christ, was born.
2. Behold what tidings angels brought,
To shepherds on that morn,
The tidings we again repeat,
Our Savior, Christ, was born.
3. All in a stall where oxen feed,
Our Savior, Christ, is laid.
All meanly wrapt in swaddling bands,
The shepherds testified.
4. Glory to God who reigns above,
Let peace surround the earth,
Mortals shall know their Maker's love
and hail our Savior's birth. Languages: English Tune Title: JAMAICA

Author: William Billings Hymnal: AACH2009 #48 (2009) Person Name: William Billings First Line: Methinks I see an heav'nly host of angels on the wing! Lyrics: 1. Methinks I see an heav'nly host,
Of angels on the wing!
Methinks I hear their cheerful notes,
So merrily they sing,
So merrily they sing.
Let all your fears be banish'd hence,
Glad tidings I proclaim;
For there's a savior born today,
And Jesus is His name,
And Jesus is his name.
2. Lay down your crooks, and quit your flocks,
To Bethlehem repair;
And let your wand'ring steps be squar'd
By yonder shining star.
Seek not in courts or palaces,
Nor royal curtains draw;
But search the stable, see your God
Extended on the straw.
3. Then learn from hence ye rural swains,
The meekness of your God,
Who left the boundless realms of joy
To ransom you with blood.
The master of the inn refus'd,
A more commodious place;
Ungen'rous soul of savage mould,
And destitute of grace.
4. Exult ye oxen, low for joy,
Ye tenants of the stall,
Pay your obeisance, on your knees
Unanimously fall.
The Royal Guest you entertain,
Is not of common birth,
But second to the Great I Am,
The God of heav'n and earth.
5. Then suddenly a heav'nly host,
Around the shepherds throng,
Exulting in the threefold God
And thus address their song.
To God the Father, Christ the Son,
And Holy Ghost ador'd:
The First and Last, the Last and First,
Eternal praise afford,
Eternal praise afford. Languages: English Tune Title: SHILOH
Shiloh
