While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks / While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks By Night [#WhileShepherdsWatchedTheirFlocks #WhileShepherds #WatchedTheirFlocks]
Song based on the Bible verse:
Luke 2:8-9
8 Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid.

1
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
All seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shone around
And glory shone around
2
Fear not said he for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind
Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind
To you and all mankind
3
To you in David’s town this day
Is born of David’s line
A Savior who is Christ the Lord
And this shall be the sign
And this shall be the sign
4
The heavenly Babe you there shall find
To human view displayed
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands
And in a manger laid
And in a manger laid
5
All glory be to God on high
And to the Earth be peace
Good will henceforth from Heav’n to men
Begin and never cease
Begin and never cease

5
Thus spake the seraph and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels praising God on high
Who thus addressed their song
Who thus addressed their song
6
All glory be to God on high
And to the Earth be peace
Good will henceforth from Heav’n to men
Begin and never cease
Begin and never cease
