Additional Verse's
These tidings shepherds heard
Whilst watching o'er their fold;
'twas by an angel unto them
That night revealed and told.
To whom the angel sppoke,
Saying, "Be not afraid'
Be glad poor silly shepherds,
Why are you so dismayed?
"For lo! I bring you tidings
Of gladness and of mirth,
Which cometh to all people by
This holy infant's birth."
Then was there with the angel
An host incontinent
Of heavenly bright soldiers
All from the highest sent.
They praised the Lord, our God,
And our celestial King;
All glory be in Paradise,
This heavenly host do sing.
And as the angel told them,
So to them did appear;
They found the young child, Jesus Christ
With Mary, his mother dear.
All glory be to God,
That sitteth still on high,
With praises and with triumph great,
And joyful melody.
