When I was in grade school, we learned a Christmas song that I absolutely loved. Sadly, time and distance has stolen most of the lyrics out of my memory and I can only remember snippets of it. I tried Google, but alas, the words were so common that none of the search results were even close. So I’m asking for help – I learned this song in Catholic school in the late 70′s or early 80′s and part of it went like this:
“…shepherds were tending,
tending their woolly sheep all the night long.
Out from the dark sky angels came singing,
angels from heaven and sang us their song:
Jesus is born!
Jesus is born!”
Trying to remember the whole song is driving me crazy! If you know the title or the rest of the lyrics, PLEASE let me know!!

I just discovered your blog through the Sonlight Bloggers link on Luke’s blog! =) Love your header and pics! We are also an Army family who home-schools. Nice to “meet” you!
Sorry, no catholic school back ground for me. Good luck, and I hope another reader can help you out.
I have given the challenge to our pastor. Although I don’t think he went to Catholic school, Fr. D is our son-in-law’s age (which puts him in the right time frame) and he comes from a family of singers. Then, there is our Director of Liturgy and Music, Roy. Between the two of them, a song and prayer, maybe the search will be over.
Is it maybe “The Huron Carol?” http://www.ismckenzie.com/2005/11/huron_carol.html
