O tell me gentle shepherd
Gentle shepherd, gentle shepherd
O tell me what the angel sang
In the early Christmas morn’
O tell me what the angel sang
In the early Christmas morn’

O listen happy children
Happy children, happy children
While I tell you what the angel sang
In the early Christmas morn’
“Fear not I bring good tidings
For today the Lord is born”

O tell me gentle shepherd
Gentle shepherd, gentle shepherd
What the great bright host of angels sang
In the early Christmas morn’
What the great bright host of angels sang
In the early Christmas morn’

I will tell you happy children
Happy children, happy children
What the great bright host of angels sang
In the early Christmas morn’
“Glory in the highest, glory!
Peace on earth to men good will”

We will tell you happy children
Happy children, happy children
We will tell you what the angels sang
In the early Christmas morn’
“Glory in the highest, glory!
Peace on earth to men good will”
“Glory in the highest, glory!
Peace on earth to men good will”
