(\'On Christmas night all Christians sing\')
Luke 2 v.8 - 14
********
In Judah shepherds did abide
Over their sheep they did preside
In Judah shepherds did abide
Over their sheep they did preside
Keeping watch o\'er their flock by night
Sheep ever stay within their sight
And, lo, the angel of the Lord
Came unto them with joyful word
And, lo, the angel of the Lord
Came unto them with joyful word
Glory of the Lord shone around
Them that night, and praises resound
The angel said to them, Fear not
I bring news of happy lot
The angel said to them, Fear not
I bring news of happy lot
Behold, good tidings of great joy
That only sin can mar or cloy
This news be unto all people
To you is born this day, to all
This news be unto all people
To you is born this day, to all
In David\'s city a Saviour
In Bethlehem, in manger there
His name is Christ the Lord for e\'er
His rule and reign it does end ne\'er
His name is Christ the Lord for e\'er
His rule and reign it does end ne\'er
And this to you shall be a sign
You shall find Him wrapped in cloths fine
And suddenly with the angel
A multitude, a host did tell
And suddenly with the angel
A multitude, a host did tell
Praising, Glory to God highest
Peace, good will toward men, they blessed
