While shepherds watched their flocks by night
All seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shone around
And glory shown around
"Fear not!" said he for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind
To you and all mankind
"To you in David's town this day
Is born, of David's line
The Savior, who is Christ the Lord
And this shall be the sign
And this shall be the sign
| |
"The heavenly Babe you there shall find
To human view displayed
All meanly wrapt in swathing bands
And in a manger laid
And in a manger laid
"All glory be to God on high
And to the earth be peace
Good will henceforth from heaven to men
Begin and never cease!
Begin and never cease!
