The Shepherd

Shepherd, see the night is come.
Lift the lantern of thy loving.
Call the name of thy smallest lamb a-wan'dring
in the valley.
Hear the song of one afraid,
See her tears so bright in moonlight,
Know the plea of a child alone a-climbing up a
hillside.
Shepherd, see the night is come.
Little lamb, the sun is come.
Lift your eyes to see it rising.
Hear your name ringingdown the glen,
a-wafting through the valley.
Hear the song of One who wept.
See His tears of joy now flowing.
Know the love of your Shepherd King once
lifted on this hillside.
Little lamb, the sun is come.
Little lamb, the sun is come, is come.
