G C D G
Hark now hear the angels sing

4. G Am7 While shepherds watch their flocks by night,
they see a bright new shining star,
they hear a choir sing a song,
the music seemed to come from afar.

5. Now Joseph and his wife, Mary, came to Bethlehem that night,
they found no place to bear her child,
not a single room was in sight

6. And then they found a little nook in a stable all forlorn,
and in a manger cold and dark,
Mary's little boy was born.
