Shepherds Arise Songtext
von Waterson:Carthy

Shepherds, arise! be not afraid, with hasty steps repair
To David′s city, sing all earth,
Unto our blest Infant—unto our blest Infant there,
To our blest Infant there, to our blest Infant there.
Sing, sing, all earth, sing, sing, all earth eternal praises sing
Unto our Redeemer, unto our Redeemer and our heavenly King.


Laid in a manger view the Child, humility Divine,
Sweet innocence, how meek and mild.
Grace in his features—grace in his features shines,
Grace in his features shines, grace in his features shines.
Sing, sing, all earth, sing, sing, all earth eternal praises sing
Unto our Redeemer, unto our Redeemer and our heavenly King.

For us the Saviour came on earth, for us his life he gave,
To save us from eternal death
And to raise us from—and to raise us from the grave
To raise us from the grave, to raise us from the grave
Sing, sing, all earth, sing, sing, all earth eternal praises sing
Unto our Redeemer, unto our Redeemer and our heavenly King.

(Repeat first verse)
