While shepherds watched their flocks by night...
G+G         D MajorD
All seated on the ground,
D MajorD             G+G
The angel of the Lord came down,
D MajorD             D7D7
The angel of the Lord came down,
  G+G
And glory shone around.
  G+G
And glory shone around.
  D MajorD   D7D7   G+G
And glory shone around.

G+G        D MajorD       G+G
Fear not,? said he, for mighty dread...
G+G             D MajorD
Had seized their troubled minds;
D MajorD              G+G
Glad tidings of great joy I bring
D MajorD              D7D7
Glad tidings of great joy I bring
  G+G
To you and all mankind.
  G+G
To you and all mankind.
  D MajorD    D7D7   G+G
To you and all mankind.

A augmentedA Saviour, who is Christ the Lord,
D MajorD              D7D7
A augmentedA Saviour, who is Christ the Lord,
  G+G
And this shall be the sign

The heav?nly Babe you there shall find
G+G        D MajorD
To human view displayed,
D MajorD               G+G
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
D MajorD               D7D7
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
  G+G
And in a manger laid
  G+G
And in a manger laid
  D MajorD  D7D7   G+G
And in a manger laid

G+G       D MajorD      G+G
Thus spake the Seraph; and forthwith
G+G         D MajorD
Appeared a shining throng
D MajorD              G+G
Of angels praising God, who thus
D MajorD              D7D7
Of angels praising God, who thus
 G+G
Addressed their joyful song
 G+G
Addressed their joyful song
 D MajorD       D7D7   G+G
Addressed their joyful song

All glory be to God on high,

And to the Earth be peace;

Goodwill henceforth from Heav?n to men
D MajorD                 D7D7
Goodwill henceforth from Heav?n to men
 G+G
Begin and never cease
 G+G
Begin and never cease
