All the angels sing by Megan M. Schultz — Lyrics
All the angels sing
for the newborn king
for to praise the Lord;
they spread each wing
for to dance and swing,
for to sing the chord,
for the newborn king,
for to praise the Lord.
All the shepherds lie
in the fields nearby
as they hear the chord
from the angels high

About All the angels sing
This bright SATB anthem captures the joyous spirit of Christmas with its energetic English text. The lyrics paint a vivid scene of heavenly hosts singing praises for the newborn King, while shepherds in the fields hear their celestial song. The music reflects the text's exultation, building towards moments of profound adoration. The final stanza turns towards the prophecy of the Passion, reminding us of the sacrifice inherent in God's love, offering a moment of solemn reflection amidst the celebration. It is a piece that balances the wonder of the Nativity with the deeper meaning of Christ's coming.
