While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks
Author: Nahum Tate Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #296 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Matthew 1:23 First Line: While shepherds watched their flocks by night Lyrics: 1 While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
all seated on the ground,
an angel of the Lord came down,
and glory shone around,
and glory shone around.
2 "Fear not," said he, for mighty dread
had seized their troubled mind,
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring
to you and humankind,
to you and humankind.
3 "To you, in David's town this day
is born of David's line
the Savior, who is Christ the Lord,
and this shall be the sign,
and this shall be the sign.
4 "The heav'nly babe you there shall find
to human view displayed,
all meanly wrapped in swathing bands
and in a manger laid,
and in a manger laid."
5 The angel spoke, and suddenly
appeared a shining throng
of angels, praising God, who now
begin their joyful song,
begin their joyful song:
6 "All glory be to God on high,
and to the earth be peace;
good will henceforth from heav'n to all
begin and never cease,
begin and never cease." Topics: Christmas; Christian year--Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTMAS
While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks
It Came Upon the Midnight Clear
Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #286 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Scripture: Matthew 1:23 Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear,
that glorious song of old,
from angels bending near the earth
to touch their harps of gold:
"Peace on the earth, good will to men,
from heav'n's all-gracious King!"
The world in solemn stillness lay,
to hear the angels sing.
2 Still through the cloven skies they come,
with peaceful wings unfurled,
and still their heav'nly music floats
o'er all the weary world;
above its sad and lowly plains
they bend on hov'ring wing,
and ever o'er its Babel sounds
the blessed angels sing.
3 O ye, beneath life's crushing load,
whose forms are bending low,
who toil along the climbing way
with painful steps and slow;
look now! for glad and golden hours
come swiftly on the wing.
O rest beside the weary road,
and hear the angels sing.
4 For lo! the days are hast'ning on,
by prophet bards foretold,
when with the ever-circling years
comes round the age of gold,
when the new heav'n and earth shall own
the Prince of Peace their King
and the whole world send back the song
which now the angels sing. Topics: Christmas; Christian year--Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: CAROL

Su buena voluntad.

perciba su venir,
mas el de humilde corazón
le habrá de recibir.

limpiando todo mal.
