1. Near Bethlehem did shepherds keep
F C Gmi
their flocks of lamb and feething sheep
C4sus C Emi C
to whom God's angels did appear
F C Ami G C
which put the shepherds in great fear
Cmi7 Gmi Cmi
arise and go thou angels said
Gmi Cmi Gmi
to Bethlehem be not afraid
C4sus C Emi C
for there you'll find this happy morn
F C Ami G C
a princely babe sweet Jesus born.
2. There were three wise men from afar
directed by our glorious star
and on 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 laid at his feet
their gifts of gold and incense sweet.
