While shep-herds watched their flocks by night,
all seat-ed on the ground,
The an-gel of the Lord came down,
And glo-ry shone a-round, and glory shone a-round.
All glo-ry be to God on high,
and to the earth be peace!
Good will hence forth from heav'n to men,
Be-gin and nev-er cease, be-gin and nev-er cease!
