| {{Text|English|
| |
| 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.}}
