Watching in the Meadows

Watching in the mea­dows

O’er their flocks by night

Shepherds heard glad tid­ings

Saw Heav­en’s won­drous light!

Hallelujahs heard they

From the an­gels then—

Peace on earth

their mes­sage

And Good­will to men!

Peace on earth

their mes­sage

And Good­will to men!

Peace on earth

Peace on earth.

Hark

that joy­ous mes­sage!

Mourners

cease to grieve!

Join to hail with glad­ness

Blessèd Christ­mas Eve!

Children

let those tid­ings

Ring forth once again:

Glory in the high­est

And Good­will to men!

Glory in the high­est

And Good­will to men!

Peace on earth

Peace on earth.
