While shepherds watch'd their flocks by night

Appears in 1,146 hymnals Lyrics: While shepherds watch'd their flocks by night All seated on the ground. The angel of the Lord came down, And glory shone around, And glory shone around. Fear not said he for mighty dread Had seiz'd their trouble dmind, Glad tidings of great joy I bring to you and all mankind, To you and all mankind. To you in David's town this day, Is born of David's line, A Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, And this shall be the sign, And this shall be the sign. The heavenly babe you there shall find To humble view display'd, All meanly wrapt in swaddling bands, and in a manger laid, And in a manger laid. Thus spake the seraph and forthwith Appeared a shining throng Of angels, praising God, and thus Address'd their joyful song, Address'd their joyful song. All glory be to God on high, And on the earth be peace, Good will henceforth from heav'n to man Begin and never cease, Begin and never cease. Used With Tune: CHRISTMAS
