On Bethlehem's silent plain, The stars shone bright, While faithful shepherds watched Their flocks by night. And as they watching lay Upon the ground, A glory came from heaven, And shone around. 2. The simple shepherds' hearts Were filled with fear: For lo! an angel stood Among them there. "Fear not," the angel said, "Good news I bring, This night to you is born A Saviour King." 3. "In swaddling clothes the babe Shall be arrayed, And you shall find Him in A manger laid." And lo! a shining host Was with Him there, And filled with songs of praise, The midnight air. 4. And now on Christmas Eve, When stars are bright, We sing with joy the song They sung that night; Glad tidings of great joy Proclaim again; Of peace upon the earth Good will to men.
