While shepherds watched,
Their flocks by night,
All seated on, all on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came down,
And glory shone around.
[Chorus:]
Hail, chime on, chime on,
Merry, merry Christmas bells chime on.
Hail, chime on, chime on,
Merry, merry Christmas bells chime on.
"Fear not," said he,
For mighty dread,
Had seized their troubled, troubled minds,
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring,
To you and all mankind".
[Chorus]
"To you in David's,
Town this day,
Is born of David's, David's line.
The Savior who is Christ the Lord,
And this shall be the sign."
[Chorus]
"All glory be to,
God on high,
And to the earth, the earth be peace,
Goodwill henceforth,
From heaven to men,
Begin and never cease",
[Chorus]
Repeat first verse.
[Chorus x2]
