Shepherds in Judea
( Then God sent an angel from heaven so high ; A token I leave you whereby you may find ; This wonderful story scarce reached the ear ; Dispel all your sorrows and banish your fears ; Then shepherds be tranquil this instant arise ; Then shepherds go join your glad voice to the choir )
... To my choir mother, Audrey Feltham ...
