1.
Watching in the meadows,
O'er the flocks by night,
Shepherds
heard glad tidings,
Saw heav'n's wondrous light!
Hallelujahs
heard they
From the Angels then --
“Peace on earth”
there message
And “Good will to men!”
“Peace
on earth” their message,
And good-will to men.”
“Peace
on earth, Peace on earth.”
2. Hark,
that joyous message!
Mourners cease to grieve!
Join to hall
with gladness
Blessed Christmas eve!
Children, let those
tidings
Ring forth once again:
“Glory in the
highest,”
And “Good will to men!”
“Glory
in the highest,”
And “Good will to men.”
“Peace
on earth, Peace on earth.”
