While shepherds watched their flocks by night

Author: Nahum Tate Hymnal: The Hymnal #181 (1895) Lyrics: 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 Savior, 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 wrapt in swathing 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 on the earth be peace; Good-will henceforth, from heaven to men, Begin and never cease." Amen.
