WHILE SHEPHERDS WATCHED

While shepherds watched their flocks by
night, Dt 2

All seated on the ground,

The Angel of the Lord came down,

And. glory shone around.

“Fear not,” said he, ‘for mighty dread
‘Had seized their troubled mind;
"Glad tidings of great joy | bririg

To you and all mankind.” :

“To you, in David's town, this day, -
is born.of David's line
A‘Saviour. who is Christ the Lord;
And this shall be. the si

“The .heavénly Babe you there shall find
To human view it
All meanly wrapped i

And in a manger aid.”

Address’d their joyful song :

“All glory be to God on high,

And to the earth be peace; -

Good will henceforth, from heaven to men _
Begin, arid never cease.”

THE FIRST. NOWEE

The first Nowel the angel did: say,

Was to certain poor shepherds in -fields
where they lay;

In fields where’ they lay keeping their

sheep E
Om a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Refrain: :
Nowel,: Nowel, Nowel, Nowel
Born is the King. of Israel.

They looked up and saw a'star
Shining in the east beyond them far,
And to the earth it gave great light,

And so it continued both day and night.

And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far;
To seek for a King was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it. went.

This star drew nigh to the northeast,
O’er Bethlehem it took jits rest,

And there, it did both stop.and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay..

Then entered in thosa wise men three.
Full reverently upon their knee,

And.offered there in‘His presence a
Their gold and myrrh. and frankiricense.

Then let-us all with one accord.
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord;.
That ‘hath’ made heaven: and ‘earth: of

nought;
And with His blood: mankind ‘hath. bought.

Field and: fountain, moor and mountain,

And.with true love and brotherhood

AWAY IN A MANGER

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet

head;

The stars in the bright sky looked down
where he lay,

The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes,
But little Lord.Jesus no.:crying He makes;
| love Thee, Lord Jesus; look down from
the ‘sky,

And stay by my side until morning’is nigh.
Be near me, Lord Jesus, ‘I ask Thee to stay
Close:by.me. forever, and. love me, | pray;
Bless all the dear children.in Thy tender

" care,
And fit'ys for. heaven. to’ live with Thee
