C              G7         C            G7
So here is the stable and there is the manger
        C      F             C             G7
The new Savior sleeps on His first earthly night
    C                G7         C            G7
The wise men brought riches but we brought a candle
     C           F           G7           C
It's all that we have but it gives a good light

[Chorus]
                        F
We are the shepherds we walked across the mountains
   C                        D7        G7
We left our flocks when the new star appeared
       C                    F
Oh the beautiful singin' of heavenly choirs
   C                   G7             C
We had to come see Him we had to come here

       G7                 C            G7
We beg You forgive us for such a small offering
    C             F              C             G7
But our sheep are out there with wolves in the night
   C              G7         C           G7
We bring You this candle tis all we have with us
    C           F          G7            C
But with it the new Savior has His first light

[Chorus]
                        F
We are the shepherds we walked across the mountains
   C                        D7        G7
We left our flocks when the new star appeared
       C                    F
Oh the beautiful singin' of heavenly choirs
   C                   G7             C
We had to come see Him we had to come here

              G7          C              G7
We thank Thee kind Joseph for bidding us enter
C               F            C           G7
Please take our gift for the new Babe of Thine
    C        G7         C         G7
Tis only one candle but it is our symbol
   C        F              G7              C
Of how we believe that His great life will shine

[Chorus]
                        F
We are the shepherds we walked across the mountains
   C                        D7        G7
We left our flocks when the new star appeared
       C                    F
Oh the beautiful singin' of heavenly choirs
   C                   G7             C
We had to come see Him we had to come here
