The shepherds afar left their flocks by night
|
Followed the new star by its heavenly light
|
Did the lambs fear the wolves did they lay down and sleep
|
Who kept the sheep who kept the sheep
|
Did robbers not steal or did they fear the light
|
That the shepherds had followed night after night
|
Did they not stray did little lambs weep who kept the sheep who kept the sheep
|
Under the new star the new Saviour lay in his dim manger he lay on the hay
|
The shepherds that came had a vigil to keep
|
But who kept the sheep who kept the sheep who kept the sheep who kept the sheep
|
