Shepherd, leave thy sheep, and hasten to Bethlehem to see the Baby Though the night is deep, come hasten to Bethlehem to see the Baby Leave them on the hill Bid them fear no ill Come and see the wondrous Child of whom the angels sing Shepherd, leave thy sheep, and haste to the manger lowly to behold Him Leave them as they sleep, for legions are watching night to surely fold them Come to Bethlehem God will guard thy lambs While thine eyes behold the Child as he lies sleeping Shepherd, leave thy sheep; secure in his care, no harm shall there befall them Shepherd, leave thy sheep; thy flock will await thee safely 'til ye call them Shepherd, leave thy sheep Angels watch shall keep O'er thy little ones, that ye may seek the newborn King.
