While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks - Connie Smith

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

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

To you in David’s town this day is born of David’s line

The Saviour who is Christ the Lord and this shall be the sign and this shall be

the sign

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

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
