All in the April Evening by Hugh S. Roberton — Lyrics
SHEEP AND LAMBS
All in the April evening
April airs were abroad;
The sheep with their little lambs
Passed me by on the road.
The sheep with their little lambs
Passed me by on the road;
All in the April evening
I thought on the Lamb of God.
The lambs were weary and crying
With a weak, human cry.
I thought on the Lamb of God
Going meekly to die.

About All in the April Evening
This arrangement of Hugh S. Roberton's famous setting of "All in the April Evening" is for SATB choir. The evocative text paints a picture of a spring evening, observing sheep and their lambs, which then segues into a poignant reflection on the Lamb of God. The choir will find opportunities to express the tenderness of the pastoral scene alongside the solemnity of the sacred contemplation, culminating in a powerful spiritual message.
