While Shepherds watch their flocks by night | |
All seated on the ground | |
The angel of the Lord came down | |
And glory shone 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 in David’s town this day | |
Is born of David’s line | |
The Saviour 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 swathing bands | |
And in a manger laid” | |
Thus spake the seraph and forth-with | |
Appeared a shinning thong | |
Of Angles praising God who thus | |
Addressed their joyful song | |
“All glory be to God on high | |
And on the earth be peace | |
Goodwill henceforth from heaven to men | |
Begin and never cease” |
While Shepherds watch their flocks by night | |
All seated on the ground | |
The angel of the Lord came down | |
And glory shone 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 in David' s town this day | |
Is born of David' s line | |
The Saviour 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 swathing bands | |
And in a manger laid" | |
Thus spake the seraph and forthwith | |
Appeared a shinning thong | |
Of Angles praising God who thus | |
Addressed their joyful song | |
" All glory be to God on high | |
And on the earth be peace | |
Goodwill henceforth from heaven to men | |
Begin and never cease" |
While Shepherds watch their flocks by night | |
