Lutheran Hymnal: 025 - To Shepherds as They Watched by Night

1 To shepherds as they watched by night Appeared a host of angels bright; Behold the tender babe, they said, In yonder lowly manger laid. 2 He lies in Bethlem, David’s town, As Micah did of old make known; ’Tis Jesus Christ, your Lord and King, Who doth to all salvation bring. 3 Rejoice ye, then, that through His Son God is with sinners now at one; Made like yourselves of flesh and blood, Your brother is the eternal God. 4 What harm can sin and death then do? The true God now abides with you. Let hell and Satan rage and chafe, Christ is your brother: you are safe. 5 Not one He will or can forsake Who Him his confidence doth make. Though all their wiles your foes may try, You can their utmost powers defy. 6 You shall, you must, at last prevail; God’s own you are, and cannot fail. To God for ever sing your praise With joy and patience all your days.
