As Lately We Watched (chromatic)

19th C. Austrian Carol
Key: C

3 4 4 -5 5 6-5 4-4 -3
As late-ly we watch’d o’er our fields
-5 -4 4
through the night,
3 4 4 -5 5
A star there was seen
6-5 4-3 -3 -5 -4 5
of such glo-ri-ous light.
6 6 -5 4-4 -3 -5 -55 -4-3 3
All through the night, an-gels did sing
3 4 4 -5 5
In car-ols so sweet
6-5 4-4 -3 -5 -4 4
of the birth of a King.

3 4 4 -5 5
A King of such beauty
6 5-4-3 -5 -4 4
was ne’er be-fore seen,
3 4 4 -5 5 5 6-5 4-4 -3 -4 4
And Mar-y His moth-er so like to a queen.
6 6-5 4-4 -3 -5 -55 -4-3 3
Blest be the hour, wel-come the morn,
3 4 4 -5 5 5
For Christ our dear Sav-iour
6-5 4-4 -3-5 -4 4
on earth now is born.

His throne is a manger,
His court is a loft,
But troops of bright angels,
in lays sweet and soft,
Him they proclaim, our Christ by name,
And earth, sky and air straight
are filled with his fame.

Then shepherds, be joyful;
salute your new King,
Let hills and vales ring to
the song that ye sing.
Blessed be the hour,
welcome the morn,
For Christ our dear Saviour
on earth now is born
