Marilyn Baker - While Shepherds Watched Lyrics

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

Fear not! said he for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled minds
Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind

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
The heavenly Babe you there shall find
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 with us
Addressed their joyful song
All glory be to God on high
And to the earth be peace
Goodwill henceforth from heaven to men
Begin and never cease!

All glory be to God on high
And to the earth be peace
Goodwill henceforth from heaven to men
Begin and never cease!
Begin and never cease!
