Author: Nahum Tate Hymnal: Yes, Lord! #209 (1982) Hymnal Title: Yes, Lord! Lyrics: 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,
The 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 wrapt 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 heaven to men
Begin and never cease!
Begin and never cease!" Topics: Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: [While shepherds watched their flocks by night]
