While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks lyrics

While shepherds watched their flocks by night, All seated on the groundThe 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 bringTo you and all mankindTo you in David's house this dayIs born of David's lineThe Savior who is Christ the LordAnd this shall be the sign:The heavenly babe you there shall find to human view displayedAll meanly wrapped in swaddling bandsAnd in a manger laid"Hallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, Christ is bornHallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, Christ is born"All glory be to God on highAnd to the earth be peaceGood will henceforth from God to manBegin and never cease"
