A beautiful, original, Christmas hymn with music by Kevin G. Pace and text by Mary Ann Snowball below.

YouTube video: In Shepherd's Fields

Text:

With shepherds sitting in the fields, Small lambs were gathered ‘round.

While keeping watch in dark of night Were mere nocturnal sounds.

Expecting only stars to glow, Soon they were sore afraid.

To their amazement, angels came; Rich choruses they made.

The glory of the Lord displayed A brilliant light so new.

An angel said, Fear not; Behold.  Good tidings come to you.

For unto you is born this day The Savior of the world.

Great joy to all shall come; Be still.  His love will be unfurled.

And this shall be a sign to you:  The precious Babe will stay

Wrapped all in swaddling clothes and in A manger He will lay.

The heavn’ly host praised God and said, All glory to his name.

On earth have peace; good will toward men.  For all He bravely came.

They went with haste to find the place Where Jesus was asleep.

Then making known to all abroad The shepherds’ love grew deep.

They were the first to hear that night Announcements of his birth.

‘Round shepherd’s fields, with lambs so close, Our Savior came to earth!
