Going through the hills on a night all starry On the way to Bethlehem Far away I heard a shepherd piping On the way to Bethlehem
Angels in the sky brought this message nigh : Dance and sing for joy that Christ the Newborn King is come to bring us peace on Earth and he’s lying cradled there at Bethlehem
Tell me shepherd boy piping tunes so merrily On the way to Bethlehem Who will hear your tunes on these hills so lonely On the way to Bethlehem
None may hear my pipes on these hills so lonely On the way to Bethlehem; But a King will hear me play sweet lullabies When I get to Bethlehem
Angels in the sky came down from on high Hovered over the manger where the babe was laying Cradled in the arms of his mother Mary Sleeping now at Bethlehem
Where is this new King shepherd boy piping merrily Is he there at Betlhelem I will find him soon by the star shining brightly In the sky over Bethlehem
May I come with you shepherd boy piping merrily Come with you to Bethlehem Pay my homage too at the new King’s cradle Is it far to Bethlehem
