This song with the lyrics "While Shepherds Watched" is well nown to us from the Village carols around Sheffield.

Here are some other lyrics (source: Golden Hind Music)

Sweet Chiming Bells

O blessed night! A star shines bright
Though seen through falling snow:
The star of love lit from above
To set the world aglow.
    Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas bells,
    Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas bells,
    They cheer us on our merry way, sweet chiming bells.
    They cheer us on our merry way, sweet chiming bells.

Child voices sweet once more repeat
The angels' glorious strain,
Our grey old earth in holy mirth
Becomes a child again.

Chime sweetly on, ye Christmas bells,
While happy voices sing.
Shine out, O star, from heaved afar
And guide us to our king.

To hail the little new-born king
A few poor shepherds came,
Although with wonder, joy and love
The heavens were aflame.

The wise men came upon their way
Led by that heavenly light,
O star of love, shine from above,
And make our pathway bright.

The loving heart, the prayer of faith,
Are sweeter gifts to bring,
Shine out, O star, from heaven afar,
And guide us to our king.

And there is a further set of lyrics by MIRIAM RICHARDS
begining "The bells ring out at Christmas time"
Does anyone have these lyrics they may care to share?
