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.
