Boston by William Billings (1746 – 1800)
from The Singing Master’s Assistant, Boston, MA (1778)
TEXT:
Methinks I see a heav’nly host
Of angels on the wing;
Methinks I hear their cheerful notes,
So merrily they sing
Let all your fears be banish’d hence;
Glad tidings we proclaim,
For there’s a Savior born to day,
And Jesus is his name.
Lord! and shall Angels have their Songs,
and men no tunes to raise?
O may we lose these useless Tongues
when they forget to praise!
Glory to God that reigns above,
that pitied us forlorn,
We join to sing our Maker’s Love,
for there’s a Saviour born.
