Sleepy Shepherds
V1
Wake up you sleepy shepherds
Up on the hill,
You have a special job to do,
It is God’s will.
Wake up you sleepy shepherds,
No time for sleep,
Head off to Bethlehem
Instead of counting sheep!
Chorus
Baaaaaa, baa, baa, baa, baa, baaaa,
Baa, baa, baa, baa, baaaa,
Baa, baa, baa, baaaaaa.
Baaaaaa, baa, baa, baa, baa, baaaa,
Baa, baa, baa, baa, baaaa,
Baa, baa, baa, baaaaaa.
V2
Wake up you sleepy shepherds
This starry night,
God’s Holy Son is born
To fill the world with light.
Wake up you sleepy shepherds,
No time for sleep,
Head off to Bethlehem
Instead of counting sheep!
Chorus
V3
Wake up you sleepy shepherds
We do declare,
He’s in a draughty stable,
Go and find Him there.
Wake up you sleepy shepherds,
No time for sleep,
Head off to Bethlehem
Instead of counting sheep!
Chorus
(Shout) WAKE UP!
