While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks
Author: Nahum Tate Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,102 hymnals Topics: Biblical Characters Shepherds 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.
2 "Fear not," said he, for mighty dread
had seized their troubled mind;
"glad tidings of great joy I bring
to you and humankind.
3 "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:
4 "The heavenly babe you there shall find
to human view displayed,
all meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
and in a manger laid."
5 Thus spake the seraph; and forthwith
appeared a shining throng
of angels praising God, who thus
addressed their joyful song:
6 "All glory be to God on high,
and on earth be peace;
good will to all from highest heaven
begin and never cease." Used With Tune: WINCHESTER OLD

Brighter visions beam afar;
Seek the great Desire of nations;
Ye have seen His natal star:
Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King.

Watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly the Lord, descending
In His temple shall appear:
Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King.

On Judah's plains as shepherds sat
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: The Angel's message to the shepherds at Christ's nativity Lyrics: 1 On Judah’s plains as shepherds sat,
Watching their flocks by night,
The angel of the Lord appear'd,
Clad in celestial light.
2 Awe-struck the vision they regard,
Appall'd with trembling fear;
When thus a cherub-voice divine
Breath'd sweetly on their ear.
3 “Shepherds of Judah! cease your fears,
And calm your troubled mind;
Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind.
4 This day almighty love fulfils
Its great eternal word;
This day is born in Bethlehem
A Saviour, Christ the Lord.
5 There shall you find the heav'nly babe
In humblest weeds array'd;
All meanly wrapp'd in swaddling clothes,
And in a manger laid."
6 He ceas'd, and sudden all around
Appear'd a radiant throng
Of angels, praising God, and thus
Warbling their choral song:
7 "Glory to God, from whom on high
All-gracious mercies flow!
Who sends his heav’n-descended peace
To dwell with man below."
On Judah's plains as shepherds sat
