-::::''1.''
-:While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
-:All seated on the ground,
-:The angel of the Lord came down,
-:And glory shone around.
-::::''2.''
-:"Fear not," said he, (for mighty dread
-:Had seized their troubled minds);
-:"Glad tidings of great joy I bring
-:To you and all mankind.
-::::''3.''
-:"To you in David's town this day
-:Is born of David's line
-:A Saviour, who is Christ the Lord,
-:And this shall be the sign:
-::::''4.''
-:"The heav'nly Babe you there shall find
-:To human view displayed,
-:All meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
-:And in a manger laid."
-::::''5.''
-:Thus spake the Seraph; and forthwith
-:Appeared a shining throng
-:Of angels praising God, who thus
-:Addressed their joyful song:
-::::''6.''
-:All glory be to God on high,
-:And to the Earth be peace;
-:Goodwill henceforth from Heav'n to men
-:Begin and never cease."
