¶Lyrics / Text

Shepherds now go we to yon fair Bethlehem town, To us the angels from Heaven have come down, Told a sweet story that there in lowly stall, Lies the child Jesus, the dear Lord of us all. Come to earth has He, God's love to us to show, Strong men and weak, rich and poor its joy may know. Kings now and shepherds advance where He doth lie, Little Lord Jesus who came down from the sky. Enter we soft lest the baby be asleep, Angels from heaven their watch over Him do keep, Mary His mother sweet lullaby doth sing. We hear, I fear me, scant tribute for a king. Ages have passed since on that first Christmas Day Shepherds went singing their sweet tender lay; Yet sing we Christ's love to all His little ones poor, And by the manger kneel down and adore.
