Tune & Hymn: \'The Holly and the Ivy\'
Luke 2 v.8-14
*******
A sight radiant, bright
On Beth\'lem\'s holy night
Shepherds in the field their watch did keep
O\'er all their flocks of sheep
Chorus
Glory to God on high
He has now come to us nigh
The Christ-child born, redemption\'s dawn
Rejoice, no longer mourn
The angel of the Lord there
The Lord\'s glory most fair
Did round about the shepherds shine
The light of life divine - Chorus
They greatly feared and wondered
Their minds enquiring stirred
The angel said to them, Fear not
Joyfulness be your lot - Chorus
Good tidings of great joy sure
To all people e\'ermore
For unto you is born this day
Jesus, the Life, Truth, Way - Chorus
Born in city of David
Mystery no longer hid
A Saviour who is Christ the Lord
According to God\'s word - Chorus
And this shall be a sign to
You, even unto you
You shall find the babe in manger laid
In swaddling clothes arrayed - Chorus
Then suddenly multitude
Of heavenly host viewed
Praising, Glory to God on high
Was their song, was their cry - Chorus
On earth peace, and good will be
Towards men, women, see
And children, old and young, be blest
God\'s favour on all rests - Chorus
