Looked for by shepherds far strayed from their fold,

Some to bring presents and some just to meet, 
G             D/F#         Em       Bm 
Joining their song to what angels repeat?

Come to his cradle and come to his cry,

Give him your nod or your ‘yes’ or your ‘aye’,

Give what you can give to Je - sus?
