Song: | IN THE FIELD WITH THEIR FLOCKS ABIDING
Trad. Christmas Carol Key: F -3 -3* 4 -3 3 -2 3 1 1 In the field with their flocks a-bid-ing, -2 3 -3 -3 -3 -3* 3 4 They lay on the dew-y ground; -3-3* 4 -33 -2 3 3 1-1 1 And glim-m�ring un-der the star-light, 2-3 -3 -3* 3 3 -2 The sheep lay white a-round; 3 3 -3 4 4 -4 -3 3-2 2 When the light of the Lord streamed o�er them, 1 2 2 2 -2 -1 -1 3 And lo! From the heav-en a-bove, 3 -3 4 -4 -3 -3 3-3 2 An an-gel leaned from the glo-ry, 1 2 2 -2 -1 3 And sang his song of love. 1 -2 -2 3 3 -3 -3* 4 He sang, that first sweet Christ-mas, 4 -3* -3* -3* -3 -3 3 The song that shall nev-er cease. Refrain -2 -2 -2 3 3 3 -3-3* 4 �Glo-ry to God in the high-est, -3* -3 -3* 3 3 -2 On earth good will and peace.� �To you in the city of David A Savior is born today!� And sudden a host of the heavenly ones Flashed forth to join the lay. O never hath sweeter message Thrilled home to the souls of men And the heavens themselves had never heard A gladder choir till then. For they sang that Christmas carol That never on earth shall cease. Refrain And the shepherds came to the manger, And gazed on the Holy Child; And calmly o�er that rude cradle The virgin mother smiled; And the sky in the starlit silence, Seemed full of the angel lay: �To you in the City of David A Savior is born today!� O they sang, and we pray that never The carol on earth shall cease.
