As lately we watched o'er
our fields thru the night,
A star there was seen
of such glorious light
All thru the night, angels did sing,
In carols so sweet
of the birth of the King.
His throne is a manger,
His court is a loft,
But troops of bright angels
in lays sweet and soft,
Him they proclaim,
our Christ by name
And earth and sky and air
straight are filled with his fame.
Then shepherds be joyful,
salute your new King,
Let hills and dales ring
to the song that ye sing
Blessed be the hour,
welcome the morn,
For Christ our dear Savior
on earth now is born.
