Shepherds arise, be not afraid, with hasty steps prepare,
To David's city, sin on earth,
With our blest Infant - with our blest Infant there,
With our blest Infant there, with our blest Infant there.
Sing, sing all earth, sing, sing all earth eternal praises sing
To our Redeemer, to our Redeemer and our heavenly King.

Laid in a manger viewed a Child, humility Divine,
Sweet innocence sounds meek and mild.
Grace in his features shine, grace in features shine
Grace in his features shine, grace in his features shine.
Sing, sing all earth, sing, sing all earth eternal praises sing
To our Redeemer, to our Redeemer and our heavenly King.

For us the Saviour came on earth, for us his life he gave,
To save us from eternal death
And to raise us from - and to raise us from the grave
To raise us from the grave and to raise us from the grave.
Sing, sing all earth, sing, sing all earth eternal praises sing
To our Redeemer, to our Redeemer and our heavenly King.

Notes:
The version in A Song for Every Season seems to have at least some differences from that in the Jim Copper Song book, if only because of the change in name from 'Shepherds Arouse' to 'Shepherds Arise'. I have written the lower part on a bass clef, although it appears on a treble clef in 'A Song of Every Season'.
