While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks

While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks - Various Artists (歐美群星)

While shepherds watched their flocks by night

All seated on the ground

The angel of the Lord came down

And glory shone around

Fear not said he for mighty dread

Had seized their troubled mind

Glad tidings of great joy I bring

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

The heavenly babe you there shall find

To human view displayed

All meanly wrapped in swathing bands

And in a manger laid

Thus spake the seraph and forthwich

Appeared a shining through

Of angels praising God who thus

Addressed their joyful song

All glory be to God on high

And to the earth be peace

Good will henceforth from Heaven to men

Begin and never cease
