Shepherds Watching O'er The Plain
Author: Mrs. Anne Gaskell Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Shepherds watching o’er the plain Lyrics: 1 Shepherds watching o’er the plain,
Tell us what ye heard,
Whisper of the glad refrain
That your bosoms stirred.

Through the riven clouds,
Tell us of that wondrous night
Ye in fear were bowed.
3 Tell us, shepherds, what ye saw
When the guiding star
Led ye to a bed of straw
In a cave afar!
4 Tell us of a mother meek,
Of a babe divine;
Tell us, show us, where to seek
That most holy shrine. Used With Tune: PADUA Text Sources: The Musical Times, vol. 20-21
