While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks

D A D G

[Verse 1]
        D                         A
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
     D/F#            G
All seated on the ground
      D          A
An angel of the Lord came down
     D/F#          G
And glory shone around
       D                    A
"Fear not!" said he; for mighty dread
     D/F#                   G
Had seized their troubled minds
         D              A
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring
   D/F#     G       A
To you and all mankind

D A D G


[Chorus 1]
    D               A
To you in David's town this day
   D/F#              G
Is born of David's line
       D             A
The Savior who is Christ the Lord
    D/F#                G
And this shall be the sign:
        D               A
The heavenly babe you there shall find
   D/F#            G
To human view displayed
       D                   A
All meanly wrapped in swaddling bands
   D/F#   G      A
And in a manger laid"


[Bridge]
      D    A    D/F#  G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
      D    A           G
Hallelujah, Christ is born
      D    A    D/F#  G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
      D    A           G
Hallelujah, Christ is born


[End Chorus]
        D          A
"All glory be to God on high

   D/F#               G
And to the earth be peace
       D                   A
Good will henceforth from God to man
   G               A
Begin and never cease"


[Outro]
      D    A    D/F#  G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
      D    A           G
Hallelujah, Christ is born
        D         A
"All glory be to God on high
   D/F#               G
And to the earth be peace
       D                   A
Good will henceforth from God to man
   G         A     D
Begin and never cease"
