While Shepherds Watched

While shepherds watched their flocks by night

All seated on the ground

An angel of the Lord came down

And glory shone around

"Fear not!" said he

For mighty dread had seized their troubled minds

Glad tidings of great joy I bring

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

The heavenly babe you there shall find

To human view displayed

All meanly wrapped in swaddling bands

And in a manger laid

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Christ is born

Hallelujah, sing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Christ is born

All glory be to God on high

And to the earth be peace

Good will henceforth from God to man

Begin and never cease

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Christ is born

(Hallelujah) All glory be to God on high (Hallelujah)

And to the earth be peace (Hallelujah)

Good will henceforth from God to man

Begin and never cease
