Whilst Bethlehem's Shepherds Kept Their Flocks

Author: Leslie Bainbridge Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Whilst Bethlehem’s shepherds kept their flocks Lyrics: 1 Whilst Bethlehem’s shepherds kept their flocks All thro’ the starlit night, An angel from the heav’ns drew near, And sudden was their fright; "Fear not," he cried, "be not afraid; Good news I come to bring: To you and all mankind is born A Savior, and a king." 2 A throng of angels then began Their voices sweet to raise, Whilst on the ground the shepherds lay To hear their songs of praise; All glory be to God on high Th’enraptured seraphs sing, Peace on the earth, good will to men, All hail, the newborn King! 3 To Bethlehem quick the shepherds ran To seek the wondrous Child, And found Him in a lowly shed, With Mary, mother mild; Their voices then they turned on high To glorify their God, And told how they had seen that day Their Savior, Christ the Lord. Used With Tune: CHAMPARRET Text Sources: The Nonconformist Musical Journal (London: Paternoster Row, vol. 15, Jan-Dec 1902)
