As shepherds watched their
flocks,
The Lord sent angels to the
earth.
They told the shepherds,
"Do not fear,"
And announced the Christ
Child's birth.
The Child was dressed in
swaddling clothes
And in a manger He did lay.
And then, the glory of the
Lord
Did light the angels' way.
"Peace on earth!
Good
will to men!"
Angelic hosts did sweetly
sing.
"Go, see the Child in
Bethlehem.
He's the Savior and the
King."
They came with haste to see
Him-
Mary, Joseph, and the Babe
they found
In a bed of hay and straw
And animals gathering 'round.
The shepherds left and made
known,
Praising God, having seen the
Holy One.
And told what the angels
said...
"Christ is born unto us,
a Son."
