Author: Helen Howarth Lemmel Hymnal: Victory Songs #180 (1920) First Line: While shepherds watched their flocks one night Lyrics: 1 While shepherds watched their flocks one night,
In Judea far away,
The sky was filled with a wonderful light,
And they heard an angel say:
"Fear not, for behold, I bring
Glad tidings of great joy,
For unto you is born this day
A Savior, Christ the Lord."
2 "Ye shall find the Bab in a manger laid,
In the town of Bethlehem."
A host of angels from heaven sang,
As the seeking shepherds came:
"Glory to God in the highest!"
The joyful chorus rang,
"Glory to God in the highest,
peace on earth, good-will tow'rd men." Topics: Children's Songs Languages: English Tune Title: [While shepherds watched their flocks one night]
The Song the Shepherds Heard.
