Johnny Cash - Who Kept the Sheep lyrics
[Johnny Cash - Who Kept the Sheep lyrics]
The shepherds afar left their flocks by night
Followed the new star by it's heavenly light
Did the lambs fear the wolves?
Did they lay down and sleep?
Who kept the sheep? Who kept the sheep?
Did robbers not steal or did
They fear the light
That the shepherds had followed
Night after night? Did they not stray?
Did little lambs weep?
Who kept the sheep? Who kept the sheep?
Under the new star, the new Saviour lay
In His dim manger he lay on the hay
The shepherds that came had a vigil to keep
But who kept the sheep?
Who kept the sheep? Who kept the sheep?
Who kept the sheep?
Followed the new star by it's heavenly light
Did the lambs fear the wolves?
Did they lay down and sleep?
Who kept the sheep? Who kept the sheep?
Did robbers not steal or did
They fear the light
That the shepherds had followed
Night after night? Did they not stray?
Did little lambs weep?
Who kept the sheep? Who kept the sheep?
Under the new star, the new Saviour lay
In His dim manger he lay on the hay
The shepherds that came had a vigil to keep
But who kept the sheep?
Who kept the sheep? Who kept the sheep?
Who kept the sheep?
