While shepherds watched their flocks by night, While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks By Night Stanza 1: While shepherds watched their flocks by night, All seated on the ground, The angel of the Lord came down, And glory shone around.
He is the promised Redeemer hoped for in Deliver Us. Song Lyrics - 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 is the promised Davidic king as well as the suffering servant sung of in So Long Moses. The baby that the shepherds visited was the final and perfect Passover lamb we heard about in Passover Us. This song is the culmination of everything that has come before, just as Jesus is the answer to every one of God’s promises ( 2 Corinthians 1:20). The first two lines come from John 1:29 and John 1:4, respectively. Peterson’s arrangement of the hymn text is followed by the album’s title track, Behold the Lamb of God. The great composer George Frederic Handel (of Messiah fame) wrote the melody that is likely familiar to most of us. The lyrics, which tell the story of Luke 2:8-21, were written in 1700 by Nahum Tate, and have been set to many different tunes over the years (to see why it’s so easy to set some lyrics to many different melodies, check out this article I wrote recently on the Worship Ministry blog this hymn is also in common meter). The first, While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks By Night, is actually a new melody composed for old lyrics. The last several tracks on the album play without a break between them. Track 8 & 9: Labor of Love & The Holly and the Ivy Track 4 & 5: Deliver Us & O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
