While humble shepherds watched their flocks On Bethlehem's plain by night, An angel sent from heaven appeared, And filled the plains with light. "Fear not," he said, for sudden dread Had seized their troubled mind: "Glad tidings of great joy I bring To you and all mankind. 2. "To you in David's town, this night Is born, of David's line, The Saviour, Who is Christ the Lord; And this shall be the sign: The heav'nly Babe you there shall find To human view displayed, And meanly wrapt in swaddling band, And in a mange laid." 3. Thus spake the seraph; and forthwith Appear'd a shining throng Of Angels, praising God, and there Addressed their joyful song; All glory be to God on high, And to the earth be peace; Good will is shown by heaven to men, And never more shall cease.
