English text
- 1.
- While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
- All seated on the ground,
- The angel of the Lord came down,
- And glory shone around,
- 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
- 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,
- 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,
- And in a manger laid."
- 5.
- Thus spake the seraph and forthwith
- Appeared a shining throng
- Of angels praising God on high,
- Who thus addressed their song,
- Who thus addressed their song:
- 6.
- “All glory be to God on high,
- And to the Earth be peace;
- Good will henceforth from Heaven to men
- Begin and never cease,
- Begin and never cease!”
