1. The Shepherds keep their flocks by night;
The heav'n glows out with wondrous light;
The glory of the Lord is there,
The Angel-bands their King declare:
The watchers of the night confest-
"God of our Fathers! thou art blest."
2. The Angel ceased, and suddenly
Seraphick legions fill'd the sky:
"Glory to God!" they cry agen, "
And peace on earth, goodwill to men!"
Christ comes! And they that heard confest-
"God of our Fathers! thou art blest"
3. What said the Shepherds? "Let us turn
This new-born miracle to learn:"
To Bethlem's gate their footsteps drew,
The Mother with the Child they view:
They knelt and worshipp'd, and confest-
"God of our Fathers! thou art blest."
