Mighty Kings and Lowly Shepherds ================================ Bob Sorem, 2003 Meter: 8.7.10.7.7.8.10.7 w/refrain [Verse 1] 'Twas foretold by ancient prophets, God would send His only son; The baby Jesus in the manger bed, Come to Earth for ev'ryone. Though we cannot be present, We ask that kings and shepherds be Our ears, the angels' joyous song to hear, And our eyes, the Lord to see. [Refrain] Mighty kings and lowly shepherds, Angel hosts from heav'n above; Lo, the star that leads you onward, To God's perfect gift of love. Come and see the holy family In Bethlehem's stall; And proclaim to all creation: "Christ the Lord is born for all!" [Verse 2] Regal robe or simple tunic, To our Lord they are the same, Excluding no one whether rich or poor From the glory of His name. The gifts of gold and incense The wise men offer from their store Are no more precious to exalt the King Than the gifts of shepherds poor. [Refrain] [Verse 3] So may we, in each our own way, To the Christchild offer praise; Though we may come from wealth or poverty, He will love us all our days. So may we love each other, In peace and unity abide. As kings and shepherds let us coexist, Jesus Christ be at our side. [Refrain]
