[D] Shepards in [C] fields as they [G] lay:
In [G] fields where they [D] lay
a [C] keeping their [G] sheep
On a [C] cold winter's
[D] night that was [C] so [G] deep.

Shining [C] in the [D] east [C] beyond them [G] far:
And [G] to the [D] earth
it [C] gave great [G] light
And [C] so it [D] continued both [C] day and [G] night.

And [G] by the [D] light
of [C] that same [G] star
Three [C] wise men [D]
came from the [C] country [G] far;
To [G] seek for a [D] King
was [C] their [G] intent,
And to [C] follow the [D] star [C] wherever it [G] went.

nigh [C] to the [G] north-west;
O'er [C] [D] Bethlehem it [C] took it's [G] rest,
And [G] there it [D] did
both [C] stop and [G] stay,
Right [C] over the [D] place where [C] Jesus [G] lay.

And [G] offered [D] there
in his [C] [G] presence
Their [C] gold and [D] myrrh and [C] frankincense. [G]

Sing [C] praises [D] to our [C] heavenly [G] Lord,
That [G] hath [D] made
heaven and [C] earth of [G] nought,
And [C] with his [D] blood [C] mankind has [G] bought.
