Crys Armbrust - The Angel's Carol - текст песни (слова)

While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
 All seated on the ground,
 The angel of the Lord came down,
 And glory shone around.
 
 "Fear not", said he, (for mighty dread
 Had seized their troubled mind);
 "Glad tidings of great joy I bring
 To you and all mankind.
 
 "To you in David's town this day
 Is born of David's line
 the Savior, who is Christ the Lord;
 And this shall be his sign:
 
 "The heavenly babe you there shall find
 to human form displayed,
 All meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
 And in a manger laid."
 
 Thus spake the seraph and forthwith
 Appeared a shining throng
 Of angels praising God, who thus
 Addressed their joyful song:
 
 "All glory be to God on high,
 And on the earth be peace;
 Good-will henceforth from heaven to men
 Begin and never cease."
 Alleluia.
