"We Are The Shepherds" lyrics

We Are The Shepherds

So here is the stable
And there is the manger
The new Saviour sleeps
On His first earthly night

The wise men brought riches
But we brought a candle
It's all that we have
But it gives a good light

We are the shepherds
We walked cross the mountains
We left our flocks
When the new star appeared

Oh, the beautiful singing
Of heavenly choir
We had to come see Him
We had to come here

We beg You forgive us
For such a small offering
But our sheep are out there
With wolves in the night

We bring You this candle
It is all we have with us
But with it
The new Saviour has His first light

We are the shepherds
We walked cross the mountains
We left our flocks
When the new star appeared

And the beautiful singing
Of heavenly choir
We had to come see Him
We had to come here

We thank thee kind Joseph
For bidding us enter
Please take our gift
For the new babe to thine

It is only one candle
But it is our symbol
Of how we believe
That His great life will shine

We are the shepherds
We walked cross the mountains
We left our flocks
When the new star appeared

Oh, the beautiful singing
Of heavenly choir
We had to come see Him
We had to come here
