While shepherds watched 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
He seized their trouble 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
A 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 swaddling bands
And in a manger laid
Thus spake the seraph and forth with
Appeared shining throng
Of angels praising God and thus
Addressed their joyful song
All glory to God on high
And to the earth be peace
Goodwill henceforth from heaven to men
Begin and never cease
