While By My Sheep is a traditional Christmas carol that started at Germany in 1625.
The song first appeared on the CD, A Very Veggie Christmas sung by Junior Asparagus.
Then, he had sung it again while visiting the Holy Lands in the 1997 Young Messiah tour. This animated video would be re-used a year later in the VeggieTales Christmas Spectacular!.
Lyrics
Junior: While by my sheep, I watched at night.
Glad tidings brought an angel bright.
How great our joy.
(Sheep echo)
Junior: Joy joy joy!
(Sheep echo)
Junior: Praise ye the Lord in Heaven on high

Junior: There shall be born, so he did say
in Bethlehem a child today.
How great our joy

Junior: Joy, joy, joy
(Sheep echo)
Junior: Praise ye the Lord in Heaven on high
(Sheep echo)
Junior: How great our joy
(Sheep echo)
Junior: Joy, joy, joy
(Sheep echo)
Junior: Praise ye the Lord in Heaven on high (x2)
(Sheep echo)
