How sweet is the shepherd's sweet lot—

牧童的好命运多美！

From the morn to the evening he strays!

从早到晚他游荡；

He shall follow his sheep all the day,

他终日跟随着羊群；

And his tongue shall be filled with praise.

嘴里充满了赞赏。

For he hears the lambs' innocent call,

他听见羔羊天真的呼唤，

And he hears the ewes' tender reply;

听见母羊回答得温柔；

He is watchful while they are in peace,

他很小心，他们也安分，

For they know when their shepherd is nigh.

他们知道牧童就在背后。
