Shepherds, why this jubi-lee

Why your joyous strains pro-long

What the gladsome tidings be

Which inspire your heav'nly song

Come to Bethle-hem and see

Him whose birth the angels sing

Come adore on bended knee

Christ, the Lord, the new-born King

See Him in a manger laid

Whom the choirs of angels praise

While our hearts, in love, we raise
