Linda Ronstadt - Welsh Carol lyrics

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lowly And heav'n to the earth that they trod May light now enfold us, O Lord for behold us Like shepherds from tumult withdrawn Nor hearing nor seeing all others care fleeing We wait the ineffable dawn O Spirit all-knowing thou source overflowing O move in the darkness around That sight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
