1 While by the sheep we watched at night,
Glad tidings brought an angel bright.
Refrain:
How great our joy! Great our joy!
Joy, joy, joy! Joy, joy, joy!
Praise we the Lord in heav'n on high!
Praise we the Lord in heav'n on high!
2 There shall be born, so He did say,
In Bethlehem a Child today. (Refrain)
3 There shall the Child lie in a stall,
This Child who shall redeem us all. (Refrain)
4 This gift of God we'll cherish well,
That ever joy our hearts shall fill. (Refrain)
