And there were in the same country
Shepherds abiding in the field,
Keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them;
And the glory of the Lord shone round them;
And they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, "Fear not!
For, behold, I bring you tidings of great joy,
Which shall be to all people.
"For unto you is born this day in the city of David
A Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
"And this shall be a sign unto you:
Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes,
Lying in a manger."
And suddenly there was with the angel
A multitude of the heavenly host
Praising God, and saying,
"Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace,
Good will toward men!"
