Bow Down, Adore

Bow down, adore and worship,
Is the song the angels sing,
He is born, the Chosen One,
Christ the Lord, the King.

Seek the Child of Bethlehem,
Go and leave your sheep,
Where Mary, blessed virgin,
Her holy watch doth keep.

Guided by the leading Star,
From Darkness into light,
Relentlessly they followed it
Throughout the endless night.

Sturdy Little Shepherd Boy...

Study little shepherd boy,
Standing with your sheep,
Protect the precious holy Babe
Who lies here fast asleep...
Sturdy little shepherd boy,
stay closely by His side - 
It must have been your little hand
That held His when He cried...
Sturdy little shepherd boy,
So gently and so mild - 
How good that you could come tonight
To guard the infant Child...
Sturdy little shepherd boy,
God blessed you with His grace,
That on this night you might behold
The Christ Child's radiant face...
Sturdy little shepherd boy,
The Babe is in your care - 
Reach out your tender little hand,
And touch His heard with prayer!
