Run, Shepherds, Run!
The silence of the winter night
Was sundered by angelic flight.
And skies were filled with holy light.
Run, shepherd, run!
Shepherd heard the angels say:
“Christ is born this wonderous day,
And gently laid in manger hay”
Run, shepherds, run!
Refrain:
Run in wonder, run in joy.
Run to praise the baby boy.
O run to tell the world the story,
Run with news of love and glory.
Run, shepherds, run! (3x)
Shepherds, run!
Boys:
Down the hills and through the town,
Run, shepherds, run!
Girls:
Find the Savior and bow down,
Run, shepherds, run!
All:
Fear not, the Savior was foretold,
A son to lead the journey bold
To love and light from dark and cold.
Run, shepherds, run!
Girls:
Mary beckoned “Gather near,
The child you seek is sleeping here”
Boys:
“He comes with love for all to hear.”
Run, shepherds, run!
Run, shepherds, run.
Shepherds, run!
Run, Shepherds, Run!
The silence of the winter night
Was sundered by angelic flight.
And skies were filled with holy light.
