While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks

Author: Nahum Tate, 1652-1715 Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #99 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: While shepherds watched their flocks by night 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, 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, To you and all mankind. 3 "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, And this shall be the sign: 4 "The heavenly Babe you there shall find To human view displayed. All meanly wrapped in swathing bands, And in a manger laid, And in a manger laid." 5 Thus spake the seraph; and forthwith Appeared a shining throng Of angels, praising God on high, Who thus addressed their song, Who thus addressed their song. 6 "All glory be to God on high, And to the earth be peace: Good will henceforth from heaven to men, Begin and never cease! Begin and never cease!" AMEN. Topics: Advent and Nativity Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTMAS
