While Shepherds watched their flocks by night
All seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shone around
Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas bells
Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas bells
They cheers us on our heavenly way
Sweet chiming bells
“Fear not” said he, for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled minds
“Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind”
All glory be to God on high
And to the earth be peace
Goodwill henceforth from heaven to men
Begin and never cease
