116. While by My Sheep

1 While by my sheep we watched at night,
Lo, there appeared an angel bright:

Refrain:
How great our joy!
[Echo] Great our joy!
Joy, joy, joy!
[Echo] Joy, joy, joy!
Glory to God who reigns on high!
[Echo] Glory to God who reigns on high!

2 Born is the Child in manger small,
Whom God has sent to save us all. [Refrain]

3 Go you this night and you shall find
The Savior born for humankind. [Refrain]

4 Jesus, the gift from heav'n above
Fills all our hearts with joy and love. [Refrain]
