While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks

Author: Nahum Tate Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,091 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:1-20 First Line: While shepherds watched their flocks by night Lyrics: 1 While shepherds watched their flocks by night, all seated on the ground, an 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 simply wrapped in swaddling clothes and in a manger laid." 5 Thus spoke the angel. Suddenly appeared a shining throng of angels praising God, who thus addressed their joyful song: 6 "All glory be to God on high, and to the earth be peace; to those on whom his favor rests goodwill shall never cease."

It Came Upon the Midnight Clear

Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 864 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:14 Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth, To touch their harps of gold; "Peace on the earth, good will to all, From heaven's all gracious King": The world in solemn stillness lay, To hear the angels sing. 2 Still through the cloven skies they come, With peaceful wings unfurled, And still their heavenly music floats O'er all the weary world; Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hovering wing, And ever o'er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing. 3 And ye, beneath life's crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow, Look now! for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing; O rest beside the weary road, And hear the angels sing. 4 For lo, the days are hastening on, By prophet bards foretold, When with the ever circling years Comes round the age of gold; When peace shall over all the earth Its ancient splendors fling, And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing.

Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil F. Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 407 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:4-7 Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city Stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a mother laid her baby In a manger for His bed. Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven Who is God and Lord of all, And His shelter was a stable, And His cradle was a stall. With the poor, oppressed, and lowly, Lived on earth our Savior holy. 3 Jesus is our childhood's pattern; Day by day, like us He grew; He was little, weak and helpless, Tears and smiles like us He knew; And He feels for all our sadness, And He shares in all our gladness. 4 And our eyes at last shall see Him, Through His own redeeming love, For that Child so dear and gentle Is our Lord in heaven above; And He leads His children on To the place where He is gone.
