Near
Bethlehem
Did
shepherds keep
Their flocks of lamb and bleating sheep
To whom God's angels did appear
Which put the shepherds in great fear
”Arise and go”, the angels said
”To Bethlehem, be not afraid
For there you'll find
This happy
morn
A princely babe
Sweet Jesus born”
There were three wise men
From afar
Directed by a glorious star
Along they wandered night and day
Until they came to where Jesus lay
And when they came unto the stall
Where our beloved Messiah was
They humbly lay
Down at his feet
Their gifts of gold
And incense sweet
