While by the sheep we watched at night
Glad tidings brought an angel bright

Refrain

How great our joy! Great our joy!
Joy, joy, joy! Joy, joy, joy!
Praise we the Lord in heaven on high!
Praise we the Lord in heaven on high!

There shall be born, so He did say
In Bethlehem a Child today

Refrain

There shall the Child lie in a stall
This Child who shall redeem us all

Refrain

This gift of God we抣l cherish well
That ever joy our hearts shall fill

Refrain
