Shepherds Watching O'er The Plain

Author: Mrs. Anne Gaskell Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12826 First Line: Shepherds watching o’er the plain Lyrics: 1 Shepherds watching o’er the plain, Tell us what ye heard, Whisper of the glad refrain That your bosoms stirred. 2 Shepherds, ye who saw the light Through the riven clouds, Tell us of that wondrous night Ye in fear were bowed. 3 Tell us, shepherds, what ye saw When the guiding star Led ye to a bed of straw In a cave afar! 4 Tell us of a mother meek, Of a babe divine; Tell us, show us, where to seek That most holy shrine. Languages: English Tune Title: PADUA
