1. We were just looking after the sheep When the angels came,
To tell you the truth
We had fallen off the sheep,
When the angels came.

2. Filling the sky with their shining light. It will be alright
Wake up, they sang,
So merry and bright,
Filling the sky with their shining light.
It will be alright
For the Saviour is born tonight!

3. We ran till we got the stable bare When the angels came,
When angels came.
We rubbed our eyes
When we saw Him lying there,
When the angels came.

4. Filling the sky with their shining light. It will be alright
Wake up, they sang,
So merry and bright,
Filling the sky with their shining light.
It will be alright
For the Saviour is born tonight!
