Beside their flocks the shepherds watched
That holy Christmas night,
When lo! the angel of the Lord
Shone on their dazzled sight.
"Fear not," he cried, "of joy and peace
Glad tidings do I bring,
In Bethlehem a new-born babe,
Lies Christ, your heavenly King.
And this shall be a guiding sign
To you and nations all,
The Holy Babe you there shall find,
Laid in a humble stall.
And suddenly the hosts of heaven
Shone on their wondering eyes,
And raised a song of holy praise
That echoed through the skies.
Then marvelled all the shepherds sore,
What was this wondrous thing?
To Bethlehem they took their way,
And there they found their King.
