Lyrics While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks - London Music Works

While shepherds watched
Their flocks by night
All seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shone around
'Fear not' he said
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 Saviour who is
Christ the Lord
And this shall be the sign
The heavenly Babe
You there shall find
To human view displayed
And meanly wrapped
In swaddling bands
And in a manger laid
Thus spake the seraph
And forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels praising God
Who thus adressed
Their joyful song
All glory be to God
On high
And to the earth be peace
Goodwill henceforth
From heaven to men
Begin and never cease!
