Sheperds left their flocks a-straying, God's command with joy obeying, When they heard the angel saying: "Christ is born Bethlehem." Wise Men came from far, and saw him, Knelt in homage to adore him; Precious gifts they laid before him: Gold and frankincense and myrth. Let us now in every nation Sing his praise with exultation. All the world shall find salvation In the birth of Mary's Son.
