1. What is this lovely fragrance wafting
Like to the scents of flow’rs in spring?
Shepherds, O tell us, whence such beauty
Hear you not heav’nly caroling?
What is this lovely fragrance wafting
Like to the scents of flow’rs in spring?
2. What is this light so fair, so tender
Breaking upon our wond’ring eyes?
Never the Morning Star so radiant
Followed his course o’er eastern skies.
What is this light so fair, so tender
Breaking upon our wond’ring eyes?
3. Shepherds, O haste with eager footsteps
Seek the Saviour, born today.
Low at His feet we lay our treasure,
Heart’s adoration, love for aye.
Shepherds, O haste with eager footsteps
Seek the Saviour, born today.
