Awake were they only
Those shepherds so lonely
On guard in that silence profound
When color had faded
When nighttime 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
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Like shepherds from tumult withdrawn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 other care fleeing
We wait the ineffable dawn
Those shepherds so lonely
On guard in that silence profound
When color had faded
When nighttime 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
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Like shepherds from tumult withdrawn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 other care fleeing
We wait the ineffable dawn
