Lyrics While Shepherds Watched - Andrew Peterson

While shepherds watched their flocks by night
All seated on the ground
An angel of the Lord came down
And glory shone around
"Fear not!" said he
For mighty dread had seized their troubled minds
Glad tidings of great joy I bring
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
The heavenly babe you there shall find
To human view displayed
All meanly wrapped in swaddling bands
And in a manger laid

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Christ is born
Hallelujah, sing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Christ is born

All glory be to God on high
And to the earth be peace
Good will henceforth from God to man
Begin and never cease

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Christ is born

(Hallelujah) All glory be to God on high (Hallelujah)
And to the earth be peace (Hallelujah)
Good will henceforth from God to man
Begin and never cease
