So here is the stable and there is the manger
|
The new Saviour sleeps on his first earthly night
|
The wise men brought riches but we brought a candle
|
It's all that we have but it gives a good light
|
We are the shepherds we walked cross the mountains
|
We left our flocks when the new star appeard
|
Oh the beautiful singin' of heavenly choir
|
We had to come see him we had to come here
|
We beg you forgive us for such a small offering
|
But our sheep are out there with wolves in the night
|
We bring you this candle it's all we have with us
|
But with it the new Saviour has his first light
|
We are the shepherds...
|
We thank Thee kind Joseph for bidding us enter
|
Please take our gift for the new babe to thine
|
'Tis only one candle but it is our symbol
|
Of how we believe that his great life will shine
|
We are the shepherds...
