Is born of David's line
A Savior, who is Christ the Lord;
And this shall be the sign:
The heav'nly Babe you there shall find
To human view displayed,
All meanly wrapped in swaddling clothes
And in a manger laid."

Appeared a shining throng
Of angels, praising God, and thus
Addressed their joyful song:

And to the earth be peace:
Goodwill henceforth from heav'n to men
Begin and never cease." Topics: Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: WHILE SHEPHERDS WATCHED

how that in Bethlehem was born
the Son of God by name. [Refrain]
4 'Fear not,' then said the angel,
'let nothing you affright,
this day is born a Saviour,
of virtue, pow'r and might;
by him the world is overcome
and Satan put to flight.'[Refrain]
5 The shepherds at those tidings
rejoicèd much in mind,
and left their flock a-feeding,
in tempest, storm and wind,
and went to Bethlehem straightway
this blessèd babe to find. [Refrain]
6 But when to Bethlehem they came,
whereat this infant lay,
they found him in a manger
where oxen feed on hay;
his mother Mary kneeling,
unto the Lord did pray. [Refrain]
7 Now to the Lord sing praises,
all you within this place,
and with true love and fellowship
each other now embrace;
this holy tide of Christmas
all others doth deface. [Refrain] Topics: Christmas; Years A, B, and C Christmas Day Scripture: Luke 2:1-20 Languages: English Tune Title: GOD REST YOU MERRY
God rest you merry, gentlemen
