1. Near Bethlehem did shepherds keep their flocks of lamb and feething sheep to whom God's angels did appear which put the shepherds in great fear arise and go thou angels said to Bethlehem be not afraid for there you'll find this happy morn a princely babe sweet Jesus born. 2. There were three wise men from afar directed by our glorious star and on they wandered night and day until they came to where Jesus lay and when they came unto the stall where our beloved Messiah was they humbly laid at his feet their gifts of gold and incense sweet.
