Engelse hymns op een Engels orgel?
Hymn: 'While shepherds watched their flocks by night'
Gespeeld op de Sweelinq sampleset van het Nicholson-organ Schagen (NL) St. Christoforuskerk
1 While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
all seated on the ground,
an angel of the Lord came down,
and glory shone around.
2 "Fear not," said he for mighty dread
had seized their troubled mind
"glad tidings of great joy I bring
to you and all mankind.
3 "To you, in David's town, this day
is born of David's line
a Savior, who is Christ the Lord;
and this shall be the sign:
4 "The heavenly babe you there shall find
to human view displayed,
all simply wrapped in swaddling clothes
and in a manger laid."
5 Thus spoke the angel. Suddenly
appeared a shining throng
of angels praising God, who thus
addressed their joyful song:
6 "All glory be to God on high,
and to the earth be peace;
to those on whom his favor rests
goodwill shall never cease."
Psalter Hymnal, 1987

Erg leuk om zo eens Engelse muziek te horen met een Engelse sampleset.
