Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Outside Bethlehem on the west bank shepherd's field
While by the sheep we watched at night
Dogs prowl in the shadows, jackals try to steal
While by the sheep we watched at night
We trembled in the presence of angels as they sang
Glory to God in the highest heavenPeace on earth to those He is pleased
Born to you today, the Savior, Messiah
The good, good news of great, great joy
The good, good news of great, great joy
While by the sheep we watched at night
The angels left for Heaven with their words left in our ears
While by the sheep we watched at night
The news of the Messiah cast out all our fears
While by the sheep we watched at night
We savored the message of angels for they sang
Glory to God in the highest heaven
Peace on earth to those He is pleased
Born to you today, the Savior, Messiah
The good, good news of great, great joy
The good, good news of great, great joy
And we saw with our eyes the babe in the manger
And we spread what we heard from on high
Glory to God in the highest heaven
Peace on earth to those He is pleased
Born to you today, the Savior, Messiah
The good, good news of great, great joy
The good, good news of great, great joy
The good, good news of great, great joy
The lyrics of L.A.C.K.'s song "While the silence of the night..." depict a scene from the biblical story of the shepherds outside Bethlehem on the west bank shepherd's field. As they watch over their sheep in the dark night, they are met with a mix of serene beauty and lurking danger. While the sheep peacefully graze, dogs and jackals pose a threat, symbolizing the harsh realities of the world.
Amidst this contrasting backdrop, the shepherds find themselves witnessing a profound moment. The presence of angels fills them with awe and trepidation, as they sing praises and announce the birth of the Savior and Messiah. The chorus, "Glory to God in the highest heaven, Peace on earth to those He is pleased," captures the profound significance of this event. It represents the joyous proclamation of the arrival of divinity on Earth and the promise of peace for those who believe.
The second verse emphasizes the impact of the angels' message. As the angels depart, their words resonate within the shepherds, filling them with courage and dispelling their fears. The news of the Messiah brings hope and comfort, reminding them that their lives are forever changed. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the transformative nature of this message.
In the final verse, the shepherds recount their personal experience of witnessing the baby in the manger. They reflect on the profound impact and responsibility they now carry for spreading the word of what they have seen and heard. This verse adds a personal touch to the story, emphasizing the significance of firsthand encounters with divinity.
Overall, "While the silence of the night..." explores the themes of divine intervention, the duality of light and darkness, and the transformative power of faith. It serves as a reminder of the profound impact that a single moment can have on individuals and the world at large.

While by the sheep we watched at night
Amidst the darkness, as we kept watch over the sheep
Outside Bethlehem on the west bank shepherd's field
In the fields near Bethlehem on the western bank
Dogs prowl in the shadows, jackals try to steal
Predatory canines lurk in the darkness, attempting to snatch away
We trembled in the presence of angels as they sang
We quivered in fear and awe, overwhelmed by the angelic chorus
Glory to God in the highest heaven
Praise and honor be bestowed upon God in the celestial realm
Peace on earth to those He is pleased
Tranquility bestowed upon humanity according to His favor
Born to you today, the Savior, Messiah
Today, a Child is born unto you, the Redeemer, the Anointed One
The good, good news of great, great joy
The incredibly joyous tidings of exceedingly good news
The angels left for Heaven with their words left in our ears
The celestial beings departed to Heaven, their words resonating in our ears
The news of the Messiah cast out all our fears
The announcement of the Savior eradicated our anxieties
We savored the message of angels for they sang
We relished the angelic proclamation, as they harmoniously sang
And we saw with our eyes the babe in the manger
We beheld with our own eyes the infant resting in a humble stable
And we spread what we heard from on high
And we shared the celestial message that came from above
The good, good news of great, great joy
The incredibly joyous tidings of exceedingly good news
