While shepherds watched their flocks by night all seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shone around, and glory shone around
“Fear not!” said he, for mighty dread has seized their troubled minds
“Glad tidings of great joy I bring you and all mankind, 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, 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, and in a manger laid
All glory be to God on high, and to the earth be peace
Goodwill henceforth from heaven to men
Begin and never cease! Begin and never cease!
While Shepherds Watched
