SHEPHERDS rejoice lift up your eyes, And send your fears away, News from the region of the skies, The saviour’s born to day. Go shepherds where the infant lies, And see his humble throne, With gladness sparkling in your eyes, Go and behold the son.

Notes
https://archive.org/details/horael00watt See also: https://archive.org/details/newversionofad Bolton and Coe attribute this hymn to Tate and Brady’s “Hymnal.” Its true author was Isaac Watts. However, it was included in a 1757 edition of Tate and Brady’s New Version of the Psalms of David, as Hymn XXXIII, verses 1 and 4, just as they cite on page 28.
