Author: Mrs. Anne Gaskell Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12826 First Line: Shepherds watching o’er the plain Lyrics: 1 Shepherds watching o’er the plain,
Tell us what ye heard,
Whisper of the glad refrain
That your bosoms stirred.
2 Shepherds, ye who saw the light
Through the riven clouds,
Tell us of that wondrous night
Ye in fear were bowed.
3 Tell us, shepherds, what ye saw
When the guiding star
Led ye to a bed of straw
In a cave afar!
4 Tell us of a mother meek,
Of a babe divine;
Tell us, show us, where to seek
That most holy shrine. Languages: English Tune Title: PADUA
