英文乡村歌曲：Kate Rusby - Sweet Bells

While shepherds watched,
Their flocks by night,
All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came down,
And glory shone around.

Sweet Bells, Sweet chiming Christmas Bells
Sweet Bells, Sweet chiming Christmas Bells
They cheer us on our Heavenly way,
Sweet chiming bells.

"Fear not," said he,
For mighty¹ dread²,
Had seized their troubled minds,
Glad tidings of great joy I bring,
To you and all mankind".

Sweet Bells, Sweet chiming Christmas Bells
Sweet Bells, Sweet chiming Christmas Bells
They cheer us on our Heavenly way,
Sweet chiming bells.

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.

Sweet Bells, Sweet chiming Christmas Bells
Sweet Bells, Sweet chiming Christmas Bells
They cheer us on our Heavenly way,
Sweet chiming bells.
They cheer us on our Heavenly way,
Sweet chiming bells.

All glory be to,God on high
And to the earth be peace,
Goodwill³ henceforth,
From heaven to men,
Begin and never cease

Sweet Bells, Sweet chiming Christmas Bells
Sweet Bells, Sweet chiming Christmas Bells
They cheer us on our Heavenly way,
Sweet chiming bells.

While shepherds watched,
Their flocks by night,
All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came down,
And glory shone around.

Sweet Bells, Sweet chiming Christmas Bells
Sweet Bells, Sweet chiming Christmas Bells
They cheer us on our Heavenly way,
Sweet chiming bells.

Sweet Bells, Sweet chiming Christmas Bells
Sweet Bells, Sweet chiming Christmas Bells
They cheer us on our Heavenly way,
Sweet chiming bells.
They cheer us on our Heavenly way,
Sweet chiming bells.
