W:While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
W:All seated on the ground,
W:The angel of the Lord came down,
W:And glory shone around.
W:
W:"Fear not", said he, for mighty dread
W:Had seized their troubled mind;
W:"Glad tidings of great joy I bring
W:To you and all mankind.
W:
W:"To you in David's town this day
W:Is born of David's line,
W:A Saviour, who is Christ, the Lord,
W:And this shall be a sign."
W:
W:All glory be to God on high,
W:And on the earth be peace;
W:Goodwill henceforth from heaven to men,
W:Begin and never cease.
