Lyrics
Verse 1
While shepherds watched their flocks by night, all seated on the ground, the angel of the Lord came down; the angel of the Lord came down, and glory shone around; and glory shone around; and glory shone around.
Verse 2
"Fear not!" said he, for mighty dread had seized their troubled mind; "Glad tidings of great joy I bring; glad tidings of great joy I bring to you and all mankind; to you and all mankind; to you and all mankind."
Verse 3
For you in David's town this day is born, of David's line, A Savior, who is Christ the Lord, A Savior, who is Christ the Lord; And this shall be the sign, and this shall be the sign, and this shall be the sign."
Verse 4
The heav'nly Babe you there shall find to human view displayed, all meanly wrapped in swaddling bands, all meanly wrapped in swaddling bands, and in a manger laid, and in a manger laid, and in a manger laid."
Verse 5
Thus spake the seraph, and forthwith appeared a shining throng of angels praising God, who thus of angels praising God, who thus, addressed their joyful song, addressed their joyful song, addressed their joyful song:
Verse 6
"All glory be to God on high! And to the earth be peace. Goodwill henceforth from heav'n to men; goodwill henceforth from heav'n to men begin, and never cease; begin, and never cease; begin, and never cease!"
