Cranbrook Lyrics by Kate Rusby

While Mortals Sleep

2011

[Verse 1]
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
All seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down
The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shone around
And glory shone around
And glory shone around

[Verse 2]
"Fear not," said he, for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring
Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind
To you and all mankind
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
A saviour who is Christ the Lord
And this shall be the sign
And this shall be the sign
And this shall be the sign"

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
"All glory be to God on high
Unto the earth be peacе
Goodwill henceforth from heavеn to men
Goodwill henceforth from heaven to men
Begin and never cease
Begin and never cease
Begin and never cease"

[Verse 1]
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
All seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down
The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shone around
And glory shone around
And glory shone a—
And glory shone around
And glory shone around
And glory shone around
