While by my sheep I watched at night,
Glad ti-dings brought an an-gel bright.
How great my joy, great my joy.
Joy, Joy, Joy! Joy, Joy, Joy!
Praise to the Lord in Heav'n on high.
Praise to the Lord in Heav'n on high.

Born is the Child in man-ger small,
Whom God has sent to save us all.
How great my joy, great my joy.
Joy, Joy, Joy! Joy, Joy, Joy!
Praise to the Lord in Heav'n on high.
Praise to the Lord in Heav'n on high.

Lord, ever more to me be nigh,
Then shall my heart be filled with joy.
How great my joy, great my joy.
Joy, Joy, Joy! Joy, Joy, Joy!
Praise to the Lord in Heav'n on high.
Praise to the Lord in Heav'n on high.
