Lyrics

[Verse 1]

While shepherds watched their flocks by night

All seated on the ground

The angel of the Lord came down

And glory shone around

[Verse 2]

"Fear not," said he for mighty dread

Had seized their troubled minds

"Glad tidings of great joy, I bring

To you and all mankind

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

The Heavenly Babe, you there shall find

To human view displayed

All meanly wrapped in swathing bands

And in a manger laid"

[Verse 5]

Thus spake the seraph and forthwith

Appeared a shining throng

Of angels praising God

Who thus addressed their joyful song

[Verse 6]

All glory be to God on high

And to the Earth be peace

Goodwill henceforth from Heaven to men

Begin and never cease

Written by: Este's Psalter, Nahum Tate
