:::''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!”
