English text

1. Watching in the meadows
   O'er their flocks by night,
   Shepherds heard glad tidings,
   Saw heav'ns wondrous light.
   Hallelujahs heard they
   From the angels then-
   "Peace on earth" their message
   and "Goodwill to men!"
   "Peace on earth" their message
   and "Goodwill to men!"
   "Peace on earth, Peace on earth!"
2. Hark, that joyous message!
   Mourners, cease to grieve!
   Join to hail with gladness
   Blessed Christmas Eve!
   Children, let those tidings
   Ring forth once again:
   "Glory in the highest"
   and "goodwill to men!"
   "Glory in the highest"
   and "goodwill to men!"
   "Peace on earth, Peace on earth!"
