While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks By Night

from Carbuncular Christmas! by Paul Carbuncle

/

lyrics

While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shone around.

“Fear not!” said he, for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind,
“Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind.

To you in David’s town this day
Is born of David’s line
A Saviour who is Christ the Lord
And this shall be the sign -

The heavenly babe you there shall find
To human view displayed.
All meanly wrapped in swaddling bands
And in a manger laid.”

Thus spake the seraph and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels praising God, who thus
Addressed their joyful song:

“All glory be to God on high
And to the earth be peace!
Goodwill henceforth from heaven to men
Begin and never cease!”

You can take the lad out of Pluckley but he'll still sing about hops.
