Of Christ’s nativity.
In the fields abiding,
Watching through the night,
Bethlem’s simple shepherds
Saw a glorious sight.
Chorus:
Carol, carol, Christians!

Of Christ’s nativity.
Carol, Carol.
All was still and silent
When over hills around
Streamed a glorious radiance
With sweet, harmonious sound.
Came a holy Angel,
All in light arrayed,
Glory shone upon them,
And they were sore afraid.
‘Fear not’, said the Angel,
‘Tidings glad I bring,
For in lowly manger,
This night is born a King.
Now in David’s city,
Born is Christ the Lord,
Born to be a Saviour,
By heaven and earth adored’.
Suddenly appearing
Came an Angel throng,
Praising God and singing,
A glorious heavenly song.
‘In the Highest, Glory!
On the earth be peace!
Peace, goodwill from Heaven,
Begin and never cease’.
Carol, carol, Christians,

Of Christ’s nativity.
Now a gladsome Christmas
To all Christian men!
Carol, carol gladly
For Christmas comes again.
