Andrew Peterson - While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks 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 minds "Glad tidings of great joy I bring To you and all mankind To you in David's house this day Is born of David's line The Savior 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" Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Christ is born Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Christ is born "All glory be to God on high And to the earth be peace Good will henceforth from God to man Begin and never cease"
