Boston ( William Billings) The Boston Camerata

Boston by William Billings (1746 1800) from The Singing Master s Assistant, Boston, MA (1778) TEXT: Methinks I see a heavnly host Of angels on the wing; Methinks I hear their cheerful notes, So merrily they sing Let all your fears be banishd hence; Glad tidings we proclaim, For theres a Savior born to day, And Jesus is his name. Lord and shall Angels have their Songs, and men no tunes to raise O may we lose these useless Tongues when they forget to praise Glory to God that reigns above, that pitied us forlorn, We join to sing our Makers Love, for theres a Saviour born.
