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.
