Shepherds in the field just minding their flocks
Angels came announcing the birth of the Lamb
Saying born this day the Saviour and Christ
Born in a stable in little Bethlehem
Yes the lowest of the low
Were the first ones to know
And the first ones to go
And worship our Lord
Yes the keepers of the sheep
Were the first ones to meet
And the first ones to greet
Our Saviour and Lord
They quickly arose went seeking to find
And soon found Christ Jesus in swaddling clothes
There in a manger with straw for His bed
The king of heaven in His earthly repose
Wise men came later following a star
Bearing gifts of riches to give to the child
Did not tell Herod they had found the king
Through whom God and man could now be reconciled
