- 1.
- While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
- All seated on the ground,
- The angel of the Lord came down,
- And glory shone around.

- Had seized their troubled minds);
- "Glad tidings of great joy I bring
- To you and all mankind.

- To human view displayed,
- All meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
- And in a manger laid."

- Thus spake the Seraph; and forthwith
- Appeared a shining throng
- Of angels praising God, who thus
- Addressed their joyful song:

- And to the Earth be peace;
- Goodwill henceforth from Heav'n to men
- Begin and never cease."
