|
|
<p>In the field with their flocks abiding,<br>
|
|
They lay on the dewy ground;<br>
|
|
And glimmering under the starlight,<br>
|
|
The sheep lay white around;<br>
|
|
When the light of the Lord streamed o’er them,<br>
|
|
And lo! from heaven above,<br>
|
|
An angel leaned from the glory,<br>
|
|
And sang his song of love.<br>
|
|
He sang, that first sweet Christmas,<br>
|
|
The song that shall never cease.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">“Glory to God in the highest,<br>
|
|
On earth good will and peace.”</p>
|
|
<p>“To you in the city of David<br>
|
|
A Savior is born today!”<br>
|
|
And sudden a host of the heavenly ones<br>
|
|
Flashed forth to join the lay.<br>
|
|
O never hath sweeter message<br>
|
|
Thrilled home to the souls of men<br>
|
|
And the heavens themselves had never heard<br>
|
|
A gladder choir till then.<br>
|
|
For they sang that Christmas carol<br>
|
|
That never on earth shall cease.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>And the shepherds came to the manger,<br>
|
|
And gazed on the Holy Child;<br>
|
|
And calmly o’er that rude cradle<br>
|
|
The virgin mother smiled;<br>
|
|
And the sky in the starlit silence,<br>
|
|
Seemed full of the angel lay:<br>
|
|
“To you in the City of David<br>
|
|
A Savior is born today!”<br>
|
|
O they sang, and we pray that never<br>
|
|
The carol on earth shall cease.</p>
