lyrics

While by the sheep we watched at night
Outside Bethlehem on the west bank shepherd’s field
While by the sheep we watched at night
Dogs prowl in the shadows, jackals try to steal
While by the sheep we watched at night
We trembled in the presence of angels as they sang

Glory to God in the highest heaven
Peace on earth to those He is pleased
Born to you today, the Savior, Messiah
The good, good news of great, great joy
The good, good news of great, great joy

While by the sheep we watched at night
The angels left for Heaven with their words left in our ears
While by the sheep we watched at night
The news of the Messiah cast out all our fears
While by the sheep we watched at night
We savored the message of angels for they sang

Glory to God in the highest heaven
Peace on earth to those He is pleased
Born to you today, the Savior, Messiah
The good, good news of great, great joy
The good, good news of great, great joy

And we saw with our eyes the babe in the manger
And we spread what we heard from on high

Glory to God in the highest heaven
Peace on earth to those He is pleased
Born to you today, the Savior, Messiah
The good, good news of great, great joy
The good, good news of great, great joy
The good, good news of great, great joy
