1.
Shepherds rejoice your Saviour is nigh:
Sing o'er His cradle your sweet lullaby.

Refrain:
Lullaby, lullaby, lullaby sing:
Low in His cradle lies Jesus your King.

2.
Hark how the angels carol His love,
He who for man's behoof came from above. [refrain]

3. Mary her lovely babe lays to rest,
Folding His tender limbs close to her breast. [refrain]

4. Joyful as all now homewards depart;
Cherish this scene of Christ's love in your heart. [refrain]
