Shepherds, keeping their flockssanbika
This is a hymn that sings of the biblical scene where, on Christmas night, angels descend to shepherds watching over their flocks in the fields and announce the birth of the Savior.
It is a carol passed down orally in Cornwall, in the west of England, and the melody printed in 1833 is still sung today.
In Japan, it was included in the 1954 edition of the hymnal and has long been cherished in churches and choirs.
Its calm and majestic melody calls to mind the light of stars shining on a cold winter night and the Magi journeying in search of the Savior.
With its relaxed tempo, it is easy to sing and perfect for Christmas services or concerts at care facilities.
Many people may remember singing it in church long ago.
As you bask in those nostalgic memories, hum along and let your heart be at peace!
