1. To shep- herds as they watched by night Ap- peared a host of an- gels bright; Be- hold the ten- der Babe, they said, In yon- der low- ly man- ger laid.

2. At Beth- le- hem, in Da- vid's town, As Mi- cah did of old make known; 'Tis Je- sus Christ, your Lord and King, Who doth to all sal- va- tion bring.

3. Oh, then re- joice that through His Son God is with sin- ners now at one; Made like your- selves of flesh and blood, Your Bro- ther is th'e- ter- nal God.

4. What harm can sin and death then do? The true God now a- bides with you. Let hell and Sa- tan rage and chafe, Christ is your Bro- ther ye are safe.

5. Not one He will or can for- sake Who Him his con- fi- dence doth make. Let all his wiles the Temp- ter try, You may his ut- most pow'rs de- fy.
