Rutter: Shepherd's Pipe Carol

Going through the hills on a night all starry. On the way to Bethlehem. Far away I heard a shepherd boy piping. On the way to Bethlehem. Angels in the sky brought this message said, "Dance and sing for joy that Christ the 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. Angels in the sky brought this message said, "Dance and sing for joy that Christ the King Is come to bring us peace on Earth. And He's lying cradled there at Bethlehem." None may hear my pipes on these hills so Lonely. 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 o'er the manger where the babe was lying. Cradled in the arms of his mother Mary. Sleeping now Bethlehem. Where is this new king, shepherd boy piping merrily? Is he there at Bethlehem? I was frightened soon by the star shining brightly. In the sky o'er Bethlehem. Angels in the sky brought this message said, "Dance and sing for joy that Christ the King Is come to bring us peace on Earth. And He's lying cradled there at Bethlehem." May I come with you, shepherd boy piping merrily? Come with you to Bethlehem. May my horrid soul at the new King's manger Visit far to Bethlehem. Angels in the brought this message said, "Dance and sing for joy that Christ the King Is come this night in lowly stable yonder. Born for you at Bethlehem."
