Lyrics: An angel of the Lord appeared to shepherds in the night, instructed them, "Fear not, for I have tidings of great joy. For unto you is born this day, a Savior, Christ the Lord," The heavn'ly hose could not refrain from praising God on High.
Glory to God in the Highest, Glory to God on High.
Glory to God in the Highest, Glory to God on High. And on earth, peace, and on earth, peace, good will.
Chorus:
Leat us now go even unto Bethlehem. Let us now go see the child the Lord has made known. Let us now go, We must now go, Let us now go.

These shepherd's, humble workers and protectors of their sheep, While watching lambs, both day and night, communed with God so deep, That by their faith to act upon instruction from above, recevevd the heavenly invite first and followed to God's Love.
Chorus
As the lambs do learn to hear and know their Master's voice, May we so humbly follow The Good Shepherd by our choice. That we, in Christ, with love become good shepherds to the fold, May we now go to Bethlehem, we must now go to Bethlehem, may we now go to Bethlehem, to be His shepherds bold.
