  G                            C.                 Am 
While shepherds watched their flocks by night,   
                   D.                           G 
They saw a bright new shining star,   
           C.                   Am 
They heard a choir sing a song;  
           G       D            G 
The music came from afar,   

           C        D      G   
Hark, now hear the angels sing,   
          Em7       Am7   D   
A new King  born today,   
     G             C       Am7   
And man will live for evermore,

Because of Christmas Day.

They found no place to bear their child,   
            G         D               G 
Not a single room was in sight.   

G                                   C      Am 
By and by, they found a little nook,   
          D               G 
In a stable all forlorn,   
       C                    Am 
And in a manger cold and dark,   
         G       D                    G 
Mary's litlle Boy child was born!

Trumpets sound and angels sing,   
 Em7       Am7       D
