And there were shepherds in the fields keeping watch by night When all around them suddenly came an awesome light Do not be afraid, I bring tidings of joy Said the mighty angel of this new baby boy Then all at once they heard a sound Of angels who had gathered round They were all together praising God and saying Glory Glory And when the shepherds heard the news they were quick to go Off to Bethlehem to see of who these angels told And when they saw the baby they had only one thought To spread the news to everyone about who they saw And when the shepherds did return For all the things that they had heard They were altogether praising God and singing Glory Glory Glory Glory To God in the highest To God in the highest And on the earth peace to men On whom His favor rests We sing glory our Messiah Jesus He has come He has come He has come Oh He has come He has come He has come And there were shepherds in the fields Keeping watch by night
