1.	While by the sheep we watched at night, 
	Glad tidings brought an angel bright. 
	(Refrain)

2.	There shall be born, so he did say, 
	In Bethlehem a Child today. 
	(Refrain)

3.	There shall the Child lie in a stall, 
	This Child who shall redeem us all. 
	(Refrain)

4.	This gift of God we'll cherish well, 
	That ever joy our hearts shall fill. 
	(Refrain)

Refrain:
	How great our joy! Great our joy! 
	Joy, joy joy! Joy, joy, joy! 
	Praise we the Lord in heav'n on high! 
	Praise we the Lord in heav'n on high!
