Unto us shepherds The angels stooped to tell Bethlehem’s story And all that there befell. 2 How did we know Him? The sign was the sign of the child Laid in a manger, A fair babe, undefiled. Little Child Jesus Is Lord of children dear; Trust Him, sweet children, Who was a baby here. 3 Why did we hasten? O who may keep waiting the King? Angels on bright wings Came down His summons to bring! Little Child Jesus, Your coming waiteth, too; Bethlehem’s king keeps An open door for you. 4 What did we find there? A Savior for rich and for poor. Wise men and kings come To kneel—O wide is the door! Come, little children, We humble shepherd men Call you to follow And find the Christ again Used With Tune: [Harken, ye children] Text Sources: Worship and Song by Benjamin S.
