While Shepherds watch their flock by Night

11.  Carol EMHB 129 “While Shepherds watch their flock by Night”

1.    While shepherds 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 swaddling bands

And in a manger laid.

5.    Thus spake the seraph; and forthwith

Appeared a shining throng

Of angels praising God, and thus

Addressed their joyful song:

6.    All glory be to God on high,

And to the earth be peace;

Goodwill henceforth from heaven to men

Begin and never cease!

    Amen.
