While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks
Author: Nahum Tate Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,145 hymnals Topics: Biblical Characters Shepherds First Line: While shepherds watched their flocks by night Lyrics: 1 While shepherds watched their flocks by night
all seated on the ground,
the angel of the Lord came down,
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.
3 "To you, in David's town this day
is born of David's line
a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord;
and this shall be the sign:
4 "The heavenly babe you there shall find
to human view displayed,
all meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
and in a manger laid."
5 Thus spake the seraph; and forthwith
appeared a shining throng
of angels praising God, who thus
addressed their joyful song:
6 "All glory be to God on high,
and on earth be peace;
good will to all from highest heaven
begin and never cease." Used With Tune: WINCHESTER OLD

Watching o'er your flocks by night,
God with man is now residing;
Yonder shines the infant light:
Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
3 Sages, leave your contemplations,
Brighter visions beam afar;
Seek the great Desire of nations;
Ye have seen His natal star:
Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King.

Watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly the Lord, descending
In His temple shall appear:
Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King.

Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice;

Within His courts His praise proclaim;
Let thankful songs your tongues employ,
O bless and magnify His Name.

His mercy is forever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.

How bright these glorious spirits shine!
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 160 hymnals Topics: Christ Shepherd Lyrics: 1 How bright these glorious spirits shine!
Whence all their white array?
How came they to the blissful seats
Of everlasting day?
Lo! these are they from suff'rings great
Who came to realms of light,
And in the blood of Christ have washed
Those robes which shine so bright.
2 Now, with triumphal palms, they stand
Before the throne on high,
And serve the God they love, amidst
The glories of the sky.
His presence fills each heart with joy,
Tunes ev'ry mouth to sing:
By day, by night, the sacred courts
With glad hosannas ring.
3 Hunger and thirst are felt no more,
Nor suns with scorching ray;
God is their Sun, whose cheering beams
Diffuse eternal day.
The Lamb which dwells amidst the throne
Shall o'er them still preside,
Feed them with nourishment divine,
And all their footsteps guide.
4 'Mong pastures green he'll lead his flock
Where living streams appear;
And God the Lord from ev'ry eye
Shall wipe off ev'ry tear.
To him who sits upon the throne,
The God whom we adore,
And to the Lamb that once was slain,
Be glory evermore!
