The Shepherds' Song

1. Woken up by angels, the sky ablaze with light,
They came to share a secret that cold and frosty night.
It was the strangest story, but one that we believed,
A baby in a manger the message we received.
It frightened and amazed us that angels came to choose
A group of humble shepherds to spread the joyful news.
Chorus: So let's play hide and seek friends, it's wonderful to find
The One born in a stable, the Saviour of mankind.

2. Warmly wrapped and lying upon a bed of hay,
We worshipped baby Jesus, and it was Christmas Day.
They wanted us to find Him, their message was so clear,
To tell a world that needs him the Son of God is here.
Now everyone can find him, He reaches out in love
No longer in a manger, but Lord in Heaven above.
Chorus: So let's play hide and seek friends, it's wonderful to find
The One born in a stable, the Saviour of mankind.

Words for verse 2 counter-melody only:

2. Warmly wrapped in bed of hay,
Baby Jesus on Christmas day
Angels gave us message clear
Tell the world God's son is here.
Now we find him by his love,
Now he's lord of heav'n above
