The late, great Araucaria was the king of Crossword setters…my favourite clue of his is this

“O hark the herald angels sing the boy's descent, which lifted up the world", (5,9,7,5,6,2,5,3,6,2,3,5) takes ages to figure out….then you begin to realise it’s an anagram…and it’s an anagram of … WHILE SHEPHERDS WATCHED THEIR FLOCKS BY NIGHT, ALL SEATED ON THE GROUND;

Genius

 

[Andingmen]

Continuing the theme....
4 down.
(From the Telegraph Cryptic Crossword Book no. 10 which was given to my for my birthday and which I'm ploughing through at the moment. I'm hoping to finish before my next birthday )
I've solved this clue, just the rest to sort now

4 d is OARS
21a is subtract
27a is idolisers
