1 Ye shep­herds, lend a lis­ten­ing ear
To what the an­gels say;
They bring good tid­ings from afar,
And won­drous news con­vey.

2 To you, in Beth­le­hem’s lone­ly town,
A Sav­ior’s born to-day;
Go, view the heir of Da­vid's crown,
And there your hom­age pay.

3 Behold the Strang­er, and adore
The mer­cy, love and grace,
Attested now, de­creed before,
For Ad­am’s ru­ined race.

4 Glory to God in lof­ty strains,
At the Re­deem­er’s birth;
Let joy spread thro’ the heav’n­ly plains,
And peace abound on earth.

5 Let ev­ery heart and ev­ery tongue
Diffuse His praise abroad;
Shepherds, be­gin the rap­tur­ous song,
All hail, in­car­nate Lord.
