Hymn: While Shepherds Watched

While shepherds watched their flocks by night
cll seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down
cnd 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
The Savior who is Christ the Lord
cnd this shall be the sign""

""The heavenly Babe you there shall find
To human view displayed
cll meanly wrapped in swathing bands
cnd in a manger laid""

Thus spake the seraph, and forthwith
cppeared a shining throng
Of angels praising God, who thus
cddressed their joyful song

""cll glory be to God on high
cnd on the earth be peace
Goodwill henceforth from heaven to men
Begin and never cease""
