Little Shepherd lyrics

[Verse 1]
A shepherd commanded to travel afar
Awakened his children from sleep
He whispered: tonight I must follow that star
And you must look after the sheep
Sleepily down from the hillside
They gazed on a wonderful sight
The kings and the shepherds had all agreed
To travel together at night

[Verse 2]
Oh, heavenly star, we would follow you too
But we have been told we must stay
The night may be dark, but we know that the dawn
Will herald a beautiful day
Joyfully there on the hillside
They sang to the wandеring sheep
A new little shephеrd is born tonight
And soon he will gather his sheep
And soon he will gather his sheep
