Shepherds Watching Over The Plain

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.
