While Shepherds Watched / Please Will You Help Me?

While shepherds watched their flocks by night

All seated on the ground,

The angel of the lord came down

And glory shone around.

“Fear not,” said he, for mighty dread

Had seized their troubled minds.

“Glad tidings of great joy I bring,

To you and all mankind.”

Star in the winter sky,

Shining so bright,

Guide us to Jesus

Born this Christmas night.

To you in David’s town this day

Is born of David’s line

A saviour who is Christ the lord,

And this shall be the sign:

The heavenly babe you there shall find

To human view displayed,

All meanly wrapped in swathing bands

And in a manger laid.

Star in the winter sky,

Shining so bright,

Guide us to Jesus

Born this Christmas night.

Please will you help me?

I’m here in the snow.

I’m so tired and hungry,

There’s no place I can go.

Can you hear me calling?

I beg you don’t ignore me.

I’ll wish you a merry Christmas,

From now to evermore.

Please will you help her?

She’s here in the snow

She’s so tired and hungry,

There’s no place she can go.

Can you hear her calling?

We beg you don’t ignore her.

She’ll wish you a merry Christmas,

From now to evermore.

Matches, buy her matches!

Matches, buy my matches!

Someone buy her matches…
