Welsh Carol - Linda Ronstadt

Awake were they only those shepherds so lonely

On guard in that silence profound

When color had faded

When night time had shaded

Their senses from sight and from sound

Lo, then broke a wonder, then drifted asunder

The veils from the splendor of God

When light from the Holy, came down to the lowly

And heav’n to the earth that they trod

May light now enfold us, O Lord for behold us

Like shepherds from tumult withdrawn

Nor hearing nor seeing all others care fleeing

We wait the ineffable dawn

O Spirit all-knowing thou source overflowing

O move in the darkness around

That sight may be in us true hearing to win us

Glad tidings where Christ may be found
