So here is the stable and there is the manger   The new Saviour sleeps on His first earthly night   The wise men brought riches but we brought a candle   It's all that we have but it gives a good light      We are the shepherds we walked cross the mountains   We left our flocks when the new star appeared   Oh, the beautiful singin' of heavenly choir   We had to come see Him, we had to come here      We beg You forgive us for such a small offering   But our sheep are out there with wolves in the night   We bring You this candle it's all we have with us   But with it the new Saviour has His first light   We are the shepherds      We thank Thee kind Joseph for bidding us enter   Please take our gift for the new babe to thine   'Tis only one candle but it is our symbol   Of how we believe that His great life will shine   We are the shepherds
