hallelujah
While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks [from Behold the Lamb of God: The True Tall Tale of the Coming of Christ, 2004]
While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
All seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down,
And glory shone around
"Fear not!" said he; for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled minds
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind
To you in David's town this day
Is born of David's line
The Savior who is Christ the Lord
And this shall be the sign:
The heavenly babe you there shall find
To human view displayed
All meanly wrapped in swaddling bands
And in a manger laid"
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Christ is born
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Christ is born
All glory be to God on high
And to the earth be peace
Good will henceforth from God to man
Begin and never cease

Been awhile since I've been able to come read you. I love that song by the way... and Andrew Peterson singing it just makes it even better. ;)
