lyrics

While shepherds watched their flocks by night (flocks by night)
All seated on the ground
The Angel of the Lord came down
The Angel of the Lord came down (without his trousers on)
And glory shone around
And glory shone around
And glory shone around

“Fear not” said he, for mighty dread (mighty dread)
Had seized their troubled minds
Glad tidings of great joy I bring
Glad tidings of great joy I bring (without my trousers on)
To you and all mankind
To you and all mankind
To you and all mankind

To you in David’s town this day (David’s town)
Is born of David’s line
The saviour who is Christ the Lord
The saviour who is Christ the Lord (without his trousers on)
And this shall be the sign
And this shall be the sign
And this shall be the sign

The heavenly babe you there shall find (there shall find)
To human view displayed
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands (without his trousers on)
And in a manger laid
And in a manger laid
And in a manger laid (where the ducks fly backwards)

Thus spoke the seraph and forthwith (and forthwith)
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels praising God who thus
Of angels praising God who thus (without their trousers on)
Addressed their joyful song
Addressed their joyful song
Addressed their joyful song

All glory be to God on high (God on high)
And to the Earth be peace
Goodwill henceforth from Heaven to men
Goodwill henceforth from Heaven to men (without their trousers on)
Begin and never cease
Begin and never cease
Begin and never cease

Where hast tha been since I saw thee?
In Bethlehem bah t’at
Where hast tha been since I saw thee?
Thou has come back without thy sheep (but with thy trousers on)
In Bethlehem bah t’at
In Bethlehem bah t’at
In Bethlehem bah t’at!
