While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks By Night. Merry Christmas!

 

 

 

 

 

1.      While Shepherd Watched Their Flocks By Night,

All Seated On The Ground,

The Angel Of The Lord Came Down,

And Glory Shone Around.

 

 

2.      Fear Not! Said He; For Mighty Dread

Had Seized Their Troubled Mind;

Glad Tidings Of Great Joy I Bring

To You And All Mankind.

 

3.      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;

 

 

4.      The Heavenly Babe You There Shall Find

To Human View Displayed,

All Meanly Wrapped In Swadding Bands

And In A Manger Laid.

 

 

5.      Thus Spake The Seraph; And Forth-With

Appeared A Shining Throng

Of Angels Praising God, Who Thus

Addressed Their Joyful Song.
