1. As I went to Bethlehem,
Ere the dawn of day,
Met I with a knot of shepherd men
On their homeward way.

2. Quem vidistis, pastores?
Tell me ev'ry whit:
In terris (I fain would learn of ye)
Quis apparuit?

3. Newly born we saw the Babe,
Whom an Angel throng
Worshipt as the Lord; Alleluya
Gloria, their song.
