The shepherds waited patiently;
They kept watch all through the night.
Then they, who kept their lowly sheep,
Saw angels drawing nigh.
"Fear not," cried the angel, bending low
To see the children of the I AM,
"For He is born to you today --
The Son of God, the Lamb.
"The time has come upon us now;
The Light is here at last.
The Child Who came to bear your sins
Is to the stable cast."
And there the shepherds found Him,
And there the kings so wise --
Midst the tiny, crowded town that night,
'Neath blue star-studded skies.
Angels came to worship Him;
Shepherds, kings of three;
These all came to adore Him,
The One Who saved you and me.
