C G7 C G7
So here is the stable and there is the manger
C F C G7
The new Savior sleeps on His first earthly night
C G7 C G7
The wise men brought riches but we brought a candle
C F G7 C
It's all that we have but it gives a good light
[Chorus]
F
We are the shepherds we walked across the mountains
C D7 G7
We left our flocks when the new star appeared
C F
Oh the beautiful singin' of heavenly choirs
C G7 C
We had to come see Him we had to come here
G7 C G7
We beg You forgive us for such a small offering
C F C G7
But our sheep are out there with wolves in the night
C G7 C G7
We bring You this candle tis all we have with us
C F G7 C
But with it the new Savior has His first light
[Chorus]
F
We are the shepherds we walked across the mountains
C D7 G7
We left our flocks when the new star appeared
C F
Oh the beautiful singin' of heavenly choirs
C G7 C
We had to come see Him we had to come here
G7 C G7
We thank Thee kind Joseph for bidding us enter
C F C G7
Please take our gift for the new Babe of Thine
C G7 C G7
Tis only one candle but it is our symbol
C F G7 C
Of how we believe that His great life will shine
[Chorus]
F
We are the shepherds we walked across the mountains
C D7 G7
We left our flocks when the new star appeared
C F
Oh the beautiful singin' of heavenly choirs
C G7 C
We had to come see Him we had to come here
