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 ye 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."
