Wonderful Winds #B016. Published by Wonderful Winds (WN.B016). ISBN 9790570743599.This beautiful carol depicts the shepherds saying goodbye to Jesus as the Holy family leave Bethlehem for Egypt.

The introduction to each verse and the closing few bars may be played by solo players in a larger group for variety.
