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."

In the town of Bethlehem."

"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]

Daughter of a Methodist minister, Helen emigrated from England with her family to America when she was 12 years old. They first settled in Mississippi, then relocated to Wisconsin. She moved to Seattle in 1904, and for three years was music critic for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. While interviewing German singer Ernestine Schumann-Heink, Helen was persuaded to go to Europe. A gifted singer, she studied music in Germany for four years. Upon her return to America, she began giving concerts and traveling on the Chautauqua circuit. Eventually, she became a vocal music teacher at the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, Illinois. After retirement, she moved to Seattle, Washington, where she was a member of the Ballard Baptist Church. Among her works are a hymnal used by evangelist Billy Sunday for over a decade. Lemmel and a women’s choral group she directed were part of Sunday’s group at the peak of his career.
