'All in the April Evening' - Hugh S. Roberton.

For Wednesday, I'd like to share 'All in the April Evening,' a beloved choral work by Scottish composer and choirmaster, Sir Hugh Stevenson Roberton (1874 - 1952). The text, by Katharine Tynan (1859-1931), is below: 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. Up in the blue, blue mountains Dewy pastures are sweet; Rest for the little bodies, Rest for the little feet. But for the Lamb of God, Up on the hill-top green, Only a cross of shame Two stark crosses between. All in the April evening, April airs were abroad; I saw the sheep with their lambs, And thought on the Lamb of God.
