The Sheperds' Report

we found in lying in a manger

Lonely and weary out in the field

Many streamed in to town that night

A great light appeared in that little town

Echoes of a charming melody filled the air

And the river flew in harmony

Gong and flute in hand we were the first

As a man in white came and said:

Come, play for us your gong and flutes

Let the nations dance as the choirs sing

Jesus Christ is born.

Then we saw a man and his wife

Amidst the couple an infant lay

Delightful faces in that midnight light

The choir still singing our sheep gazing

A change from night to day at midnight

Turning, the man in white clothing said

This is Christ the new born King

We played for them our gongs and flutes

Nations danced as choirs sang

Jesus Christ is born.
