Shepherd's Journey
by Mark Fotheringham
Let us now go to Bethlehem,
Said shepherds of old, meek and mild.
After the angelic host had fled,
They went to find the Holy Child.
Flocks would be left behind that night
So they could go search for the boy,
Leaving their living to seek the life
That would bring them new hope and joy.
The night was dark, the road was hard.
O'er thorn and stone they made their way.
Led by the light of a wonderous star,
They found the babe that Christmas Day.
They found him in a manger laid
In swaddling clothes, a bed of hay.
No crown to mark that He was their King,
Yet praising Him, they knelt to pray.
Through rocky roads we too must pass
Through darkness with but little flame.
Like shepherds of old on Christmas Day,
Let us now go to Bethlehem.
I like both songs - but I want to sing this one! When there's a melody printed, send me a copy.
ReplyDeleteI like this one too! Katie, when you sing it, send me a copy.

DeleteI finally finished the music to your text. We should have our choir sing this for Christmas. What a great idea!
