And there were shepherds in the field,
Keeping watch o'er their sheep;
And, lo, the angel of the Lord,
To them softly did speak.
The angel told them of the birth,
Of Jesus Christ the Lamb;
The Son of the Eternal God,
The Blessed Great I Am.
A multitude of angels came,
Proclaiming glory be;
Glory to God in the highest,
Good will toward you and me.
With joy the shepherds went to see,
That which had come to pass;
They found the babe in Bethlehem,
A manger held Him fast.
After that the shepherds returned,
With hearts so full of joy;
They told their story here and there,
Of this sweet baby boy.
We, too, rejoice to know of him,
God's gift to fallen men;
The Prince of Peace, the One Divine,
Who saves us from our sins.
