Song 6 - And there were Shepherds
The song will play all the way through.

1. Upon some nearby land
Abiding with their sheep
A little group of shepherds
Their nightly watch did keep
When suddenly the dark was gone
And round about God's glory shone.

2. An angel came along
And they were struck with awe
The silences had been broken
A light is what they saw
"You need not be afraid," said he.
"I bring good news for you and me."

3. "In Bethlehem today
A baby has been born
And he shall be the Saviour
So do not be forlorn
To preach this news is why I came.
And Christ the Lord shall be his name.

(v. 4 has optional 2nd part - 1st 4 lines sung to la)
4. You must look for this sign
The baby that you seek
Is wrapped in swaddling clothing
And in a manger sleeps."
And then there with the angel was
A heavenly host all praising God.

5.They said "Glory to God,
And peace on earth as well.
For as in Mankind also
God's will is going to dwell
All Glory be to God on high.
And peace on earth." Is what they cry.
