Herdsmen

1. Shepherds, ; When they were in Bethlehem, ; They were keeping their flocks, ; In the field at night. ; ; 2. The angels of God, ; Came to them, ; With great fear ; Their hearts were filled. ; ; 3. I tell you good news ; Do not be afraid, ; For today your salvation is born. ; ; 4. Go quickly into the city, ; There you will find ; Jesus lying in a manger. ; ; 5. They set out ; And they came to ; His holy dwelling ; Of the Lord of heaven and earth. ; ; 6. They did not find Him ; In a bright palace, ; But in a stable ; In a poor manger. ; ; 7. He who holds the corners of heaven and earth, ; Has no place for Him ; Where to bow his head. ; ; 8. For everything ; The blessing of the little one, ; He in all ; What need he suffers. ; ; 9. Who dresses the fields ; Beautifully, ; The child is barely ; Wrapped in swaddling clothes. ; ; 10. For what are the sun and moon ; His throne of power, ; He lies in a manger ; The glory of heaven.
