Fear not, fear not, O ye shepherds,
Rather give ye thanks and sing,
For to you and to all people
Tidings of great joy I bring.

Refrain

Glory, glory in the highest!
Unto God let praise increase!
Glory, glory in the highest!
Unto men good-will and peace!

For in yonder town of David—
Seek ye there with one accord—
There is born to you a Savior
Which is even Christ the Lord.

Refrain

This the sign by which to know Him,
Seek ye, then, be not afraid—
Ye shall find a Babe in Bethl’em,
In a lowly manger laid.

Refrain

Shepherds Abiding in the Fields, by Carl Heinrich Bloch (1834-1890)
