Come, all ye shepherds, your flocks will not stray,
Come and see Jesus asleep on the hay
Near the dark manger sits His mother mild,
Humming she hovers o'er her precious Child;
Come, without fear!

Hasten to Bethlehem, there to behold
The Christ child whose coming angels foretold.
"Peace on the earth and good will to all men."
That is the message sent down from heaven;
O praise the Lord!
