We were out on the hills that night	A
To watch our sheep	B
Drowsily by the fire we lay	C
Where the waning flame did flicker and leap	B
And some were weary and half asleep	B
And some talked low of their flocks and the fright	A
Of a lion that day	C
	-
But I had drawn from the others apart	D
I was only a lad	E
And the night's great silence so filled my heart	D
That I dared not talk and I dared not jest	F
The moon had gone down behind the hill	G
And even the wind of the desert was still	G
As the touch of death the air was cold	H
And the world seemed all outworn and old	H
Yet a poignant delight in my soul was guest	F
And I could not be sad	E
	-
Still were my thoughts the thoughts of youth	I
Under the skies	J
I dreamed of the holy and tender truth	I
That shone for me in my mother's eyes	J
Of my little sister's innocent grace	K
And the mirthful lure in the olive face	K
Of a maid I had seen at the well that day	C
Singing low as I passed that way	C
And so sweet and wild were the notes of her song	L
That I listened long	L
	-
Was it the dawn that silvered and broke	M
Over the hill	G
Each at the other looked in amaze	N
And never a breathless word we spoke	M
Fast into rose and daffodil	G
Deepened that splendor athwart its blaze	N
That pierced like a sword the gulf of night	A
We saw a form that was shaped of the light	A
And we veiled our faces in awe and dread	O
To hearken the tidings the Bright One told	H
Oh wonderful were the words he said	O
Of a Child in Bethlehem's manger old	H
	-
The stars were drowned in that orient glow	P
The sky was abloom like a meadow in spring	Q
But each blossom there was a radiant face	K
And each flash of glory a shining wing	Q
They harped of peace and great good will	G
And such was their music that well I know	P
There can never again in my soul be space	K
For a sound of ill	G
	-
The light died out as the sunset dies	J
In the western skies	J
Swift went we to the Bethlehem khan	R
Many our questions laughed to scorn	S
But one a gray and wrinkled man	T
With strange deep eyes that searched the heart	D
Led us down to the child new born	S
In a dim lighted cave apart	D
	-
There on the straw the mother lay	C
Wan and white	A
But her look was so holy and rapt and mild	U
That it seemed to shed a marvellous light	A
Faint as the first rare gleam of day	C
Around the child	U
	-
It was as other children are	V
Saving for something in the eyes	J
Starlike and clear and strangely wise	J
Then came a sudden thought to me	W
Of a lamb I had found on the waste afar	V
Lost and sick with hunger and cold	H
I had brought it back in my arms to the fold	H
For tender ministry	W
	-
Dawn had flooded the east as a wave	X
When we left the cave	X
All the world suddenly seemed to be	W
Young and pure and joyous again	Y
The others lingered to talk with the men	Y
Full of wonder and rapture still	G
But I hastened back to the fold on the hill	G
To tend the lamb that had need of me	W
