Shepherd, Leave Thy Sheep

View/print sheet music:     SAB

    Lyrics:

    Shepherd, leave thy sheep, and hasten to Bethlehem to see the Baby
    Though the night is deep, come hasten to Bethlehem to see the Baby
    Leave them on the hill
    Bid them fear no ill
    Come and see the wondrous Child of whom the angels sing

    Shepherd, leave thy sheep, and haste to the manger lowly to behold Him
    Leave them as they sleep, for legions are watching night to surely fold them
    Come to Bethlehem
    God will guard thy lambs
    While thine eyes behold the Child as he lies sleeping

    Shepherd, leave thy sheep; secure in his care, no harm shall there befall them
    Shepherd, leave thy sheep; thy flock will await thee safely 'til ye call them
    Shepherd, leave thy sheep
    Angels watch shall keep
    O'er thy little ones, that ye may seek the newborn King
