While shepherds watch their flocks by night
All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came down
and glory shone around
“Fear not, fear not” the angel said
“Fear not, I bring good news,
Glad tidings of great joy I sing.
Good news I bring to you!”
Chorus
Celebrate! Joy to the world!
Let earth receive her King!
Gloria from heav’n above.
Rejoice, rejoice and sing!
Glory be to God on High
And to the earth be peace.
Good will from heaven celebrate!
It’s the Birthday of the King!
In Bethlehem this very night
Is born of David’s line,
The Savior who is Christ the Lord.
And this will be the sign,
This will be the sign
The holy Child that you will find
Will be the Lord of all.
He’s gently wrapped in swaddling clothes,
Laid in a manger stall.
Chorus
Birthday of the King, birthday of the King!
Birthday of the King, birthday of the King!
