Shepherds, Up!

A traditional Austrian Christmas carol according to Maria Augusta Trapp, Around the Year with the Trapp Family (New York: Pantheon, 1955)
MIDI / Noteworthy Composer

Shepherds, up, your watch to take!
Your time of sleep is ending,
For the Good Shepherd is awake,
His earthly flock attending.

Refrain:
Haste to the manger, to Mary, so mild,
Come and adore Him, the heavenly Child!
Haste to the manger, to Mary, so mild,
Come and adore Him, the heavenly Child!
