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: Nahum Tate
