Shepherds Watching o’er the Plain

Shepherds watch­ing o’er the plain

Tell us what ye heard

Whisper of the glad re­frain

That your bo­soms stirred.

Shepherds

ye who saw the light

Through the riv­en clouds

Tell us of that won­drous night

Ye in fear were bowed.

Tell us

shep­herds

what ye saw

When the guid­ing star

Led ye to a bed of straw

In a cave afar!

Tell us of a mo­ther meek

Of a babe di­vine;

Tell us

show us

where to seek

That most ho­ly shrine.
