Shepherds, What Joyful Tidings

Author: John O'Connor Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. Shepherds, what joyful tidings Have made you sing and play? Long have we been awaiting The Lamb that came today. Cherubim, seraphim sang to us merrily, Fear not, but hurry ye over to Bethlehem. 2. When they drew near the stable They saw the newborn Child Lain on straw in the manger Like lamb on upland wild Tearful His tiny lids wavered with shuddering, Cold was the welcome they gave Him in Bethlehem. 3. Sweetly He slept and slumbered, In Mary’s arms so mild, Shepherds humbly adored Him And Mary then replied, Back to your fold, carry peace and tranquility, My little Son gives you peace and love evermore.
