 While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks While Shepherds watched their flocks by night, All seated on the ground, The angel of the Lord came down, And glory shone arond. And glory shone arond. "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 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 me the sign: And this shall me the sign: The heav'n'ly 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". Thus spoke the seraph and forthwith Appeared a shing throng Of angels praising God who thus Addressed their joyful song, Addressed their joyful song, "All glory be to God on high, And on the earth be peace; Goodwill henceforth from heav'n to men, Begin and never cease". Begin and never cease". |
