As Lately We Watched

Author: Anonymous Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: As lately we watched o'er our flocks through the night Lyrics: 1 As lately we watched o’er our flocks through the night, A star there was seen of such glorious light; All through the night, angels did sing Sweet carols in praise of the birth of a King. 2 A King of such beauty was ne’er before seen, And Mary, His mother, so like to a queen. Blest be the hour, welcome the morn, For Christ our dear Saviour on earth now is born. 3 His throne is a manger, His court is a loft, But troops of bright angels, in lays sweet and soft, Him they proclaim our Christ by name, And earth, sky, and air straight are filled with His fame. 4 Then shepherds, be joyful, salute your liege King, Let hills and dales ring to the song that ye sing; Blest be the hour, welcome the morn, For Christ our dear Saviour on earth now is born.

Anonymous

Author of "As Lately We Watched" in Christian Praise In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
