Shepherds Keeping Watch By Night
Author: Anonymous Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 10 hymnals Refrain First Line: Ring the merry songs today Lyrics: 1 Shepherds keeping watch by night,
Saw around a glorious light;
Heard an angel then proclaim,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem!"
Refrain:
Ring the merry songs today,
Sweetly chime Messiah’s morn;
Glad we hail this peaceful way,
"Christ the Lord for man is born!"
2 Soon by many a heav’nly tongue
Glory be to God was sung,
Peace on earth, good will to men,
Christ is born in Bethlehem. [Refrain]
3 Joyful tidings to mankind!
Richest grace they now may find;
Children, too, this grace may claim,
Christ is born in Bethlehem. [Refrain]
4 Oh! how great His grace and love,
Thus to leave His throne above;
Thus to bear our guilt and shame,
And be born in Bethlehem. [Refrain]
5 Lord! accept our warmest praise
For this condescending grace,
And our hearts with love inflame,
For Thy birth in Bethlehem. [Refrain] Used With Tune: LOUVRE Text Sources: The New England Sabbath School Minstrel (Boston: New England Sabbath School Union, 1844)

Author: Anonymous Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: ’Round our sparkling Christmas tree Refrain First Line: Glory be to God on high Lyrics: 1 ’Round our sparkling Christmas tree,
Let our gladsome voices ring;
Children of the Lord are we,
In His praise our hymn we sing.
Refrain:
Glory be to God on high,
Peace on earth, good will to men;
Let us join the angel band,
Shout aloud the glad refrain.
2 Thanks to Him whose tender love
In the wintry midnight wild,
Sent the Savior from above,
Gentle Jesus, holy Child. [Refrain]
3 Heav’n with joy and music rang,
Silvery stars broke silence then;
Angel voices greeting sang—
Peace on earth, good will to men. [Refrain]
4 Now once more the night comes round,
Now the hour once more draws near;
When that anthem’s holy sound,
Falls on fancy’s listening ear. [Refrain]
5 On our hearts, oh let it thrill,
Jesus there be born again;
And with peace our bosoms fill,
Peace on earth, good will to men. [Refrain] Used With Tune: LOUVRE Text Sources: Hymnal for Primary Classes by Edwin W. Rice (Philadelphia: American Sunday School Union, 1896)
