While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks (Tune: Winchester Old - 6vv) [with lyrics for congregations]

"While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night" was written in 1700 by Irish writer and poet laureate Nahum Tate.
The tune is 'Winchester Old', a common-meter psalm tune, probably arranged by George Kirbye from a melody in Christopher Tye's 'Acts of the Apostles' and published in T. Este's 'The Whole Book of Psalmes' in 1592.
It is performed here by the St Michael's Singers and Coventry Singers.
