Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
All seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shone around.
CHORUS
Sweet chiming Christmas bells,
Sweet chiming Christmas bells,
They cheer us on our heav'nward way
Sweet chiming bells.
VERSE 2
Fear not said he for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind
Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind.
VERSE 3
To you in David's town this day
Is born of David's line
A Saviour who is Christ the Lord
And this shall be the sign.
VERSE 4
The heav'nly Babe you there shall find
To human view displayed
All meanly wrapped in swathing clothes
And in a manger laid.
