While By Our Sleeping Flock We Lay Lyrics by Fred Waring, The Pennsylvanians

The Sounds of Christmas

1959

[Verse 1]
While by our sleeping flock we lay
There came an angel bright as day
Awake with joy
(Awake with joy)
[Chorus]
Joy, joy, joy
(Joy, joy, joy)
Praise ye the Lord on high with joy
(Praise ye the Lord on high with joy)
[Verse 2]
Spake then the angel News I bring
Of Israel’s long expected King
Great be your joy
(Great be your joy)
[Chorus]
Joy, joy, joy
(Joy, joy, joy)
Praise ye the Lord on high with joy
(Praise ye the Lord on high with joy)
