They were only shepherds

Watching in the night

Near the town of Bethlehem

They saw a glorious sight

Deep the night had fallen

All across the land

When the sky was lightened

By God's almighty hand

A multitude of angels

Singing praise to God

And telling of a manger

In Bethlehem

"Go and see the Son of God

He is waiting for you

Lying in the manger

In Bethlehem

"Glory to God in the highest!"

So they went to see him

And stood at Mary's side

Jesus Christ, our Savior

A blessed little child
