Above a town called Bethlehem,
     One starlit, wintry night,
Some shepherds sat amongst their sheep
    Beneath the pale moonlight.

​

An angel of the Lord appeared
     In raiment, shining bright.
The shepherds were quite terrified
     And trembled at this sight.

​

'Don't be afraid,' the angel said.
     'My news will bring you joy.
This very day, in David's town,
      Was born a special boy.

​

'Your Saviour, Christ the Lord, was born,
     And lies now in a manger.
Go now and find this infant child.
     You're not in any danger.'

​

A host of heavenly angels came;
     The sky was all ablaze.
'Glory to God, and peace to all,'
     They sang in words of praise.

​

Of all the people in the world -
     Well, do you find it odd -
That those who cared so well for sheep,
     First saw the Lamb of God?
