The St Michael's Singers & The Coventry Singers -
The Best Christmas Carols Album In the World... Ever!
While Shepherds Watched
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 all of mankind,"
"To you, in David's town, this day
is born of David's line
a 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 swathing bands,
and in a manger laid."
Thus spake the seraph and forthwith
appeared a shining throng
of angels praising God on high,
who thus addressed their song:
"All glory be to God on high,
and to the earth be peace;
good will henceforth from heaven to earth
begin and never cease!"
