While shepherds kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a Holy Light
It's Christmas day
It's Christmas day
The shepherds feared and trembled
When lo above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Savior's birth
It's Christmas day
It's Christmas day
Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation
That blessed Christmas morn
It's Christmas day
It's Christmas day
It's Christmas day
It's Christmas day
