Who Kept the Sheep

John R. "Johnny" Cash (February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003), was an American singer-songwriter, actor, and author, who has been called one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Although he is primarily remembered as a country music icon, his songs and sound spanned many other genres including rockabilly and rock and roll—especially early in his career—as well as blues, folk, and gospel. This crossover appeal led to Cash being inducted in the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Gospel Music Hall of Fame. more »

The shepherds afar left their flocks by night 
Followed the new star by its heavenly light 
Did the lambs fear the wolves did they lay down and sleep 
Who kept the sheep who kept the sheep 

Did robbers not steal or did they fear the light 
That the shepherds had followed night after night 
Did they not stray did little lambs weep who kept the sheep who kept the sheep 
Under the new star the new Saviour lay in his dim manger he lay on the hay 

The shepherds that came had a vigil to keep 
But who kept the sheep who kept the sheep who kept the sheep who kept the sheep
