1.
\nWhile shepherds watched their flocks by night,
\nAll seated on the ground,
\nThe angel of the Lord came down,
\nAnd glory shone around.<\/p>\n
2.<\/p>\n
Fear nor! said he for mighty dread
\nHad seized their troubled mind
\nGlad tidings of great joy I bring,
\nTo you and all mankind.<\/p>\n
3.
\nTo you, in David’s town this day,
\nIs born of David’s line,
\nThe Savior who is Christ the Lord;
\nAnd this shall be the sign:<\/p>\n
4.
\nThe heavenly Babe you there shall find
\nTo human view displayed,
\nAll meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
\nAnd in a manger laid.<\/p>\n

\nThus spake the seraph; and forth with
\nAppeared a shining throng
\nOf angels praising God on high,
\nWho thus addressed their song:<\/p>\n
6.
\nAll glory be to God on high,
\nAnd to the earth be peace;
\nGood will henceforth from heaven to men,
\nBegin and never cease!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
