From on high, I see a star shine bright.

I do wonder where it leads me this night.

Follow me say I to a weary flock of sheep.

This night is cold, and we shall not sleep.

I am just a poor young shepherd.

On this night I seek fair warmth for my herd.

Follow me say I for warmth and hay awaits.

A cozy manger shall be our fate.

As we bed upon the hay this night.

In from the cold strangers here we invite.

Rest thee gently, I see that you are with child.

Among us be safe here from the wild.

Of myself I give to serve your need.

In this manger man and beast, we do cede.

Rest thee gently bring forth a child so pure.

And hope vile ways will not be endured.

On this night wise men follow a star.

Bearing gifts for a savior born afar.

In a manger lies a child in Bethlehem.

To rise above the lion lies a lamb.

I am just a shepherd of no worth.

On this night I bare witness to a birth.

In a manger lies a babe in Bethlehem.

To rise above the lion lies a lamb.

In a manger lies a babe in Bethlehem.
