While shepherds were watching 1 While shepherds were watching their flocks in the moon light, An angel descended and light shone a round. Fear not said the angel, for I bring you tidings I bring you glad tidings of comfort en joy. REFREIN. For to nihrt i-in yon-der stable, a mange-er hi-is crad-le The Sa vi-or Lo-ord Je-sus is with you to day. To calm all your fe-ars and. Still all your te-ars And all through the years, He will show you the way. 2 Away in the distance up high on the hillside, three wise men appearing, to welcome his day. And high in the night sky. A bright star was shining, A bright star is shining, to show them the way. Refrein.
