《While Shepherds Watched their Flocks by Night (Arr. Thomas Ravenscroft)》歌词

[00:00:00] While shepherds watched their flocks by night

[00:00:06] All seated on the ground

[00:00:11] The angel of the Lord came down

[00:00:18] And glory shone around

[00:00:25] "Fear not " said he for mighty dread

[00:00:31] Had seized their troubled minds;

[00:00:37] "Glad tidings of great joy I bring

[00:00:44] To you and all mankind

[00:00:53] "To you in David's town this day

[00:00:58] Is born of David's line

[00:01:04] A Savior who is Christ the Lord;

[00:01:11] And this shall be the sign:

[00:01:19] The heavenly Babe you there shall find

[00:01:25] To human view displayed

[00:01:31] All meanly wrapped in swaddling-clothes

[00:01:39] And in a manger laid "

[00:01:45] Thus spake the seraph --and forthwith

[00:01:52] Appeared a shining throng

[00:01:58] Of angels praising God and thus

[00:02:06] Addressed their joyful song:

[00:02:12] "All glory be to God on high

[00:02:19] And to the earth be peace;

[00:02:25] Good will henceforth from Heaven to men

[00:02:32] Begin and never cease "
