"In the Bethlehem Stable"
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
1. |
'Twas in a lovely stable
Where cattle took their rest,
That once a precious babe was born,
The Christ-child dear and blest.
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
2. |
The oxen, big and friendly,
Stood gazing by his bed;
The good gray donkey wandered near,
The doves flew overhead.
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
3. |
The shepherds from the hillside
To greet the baby came;
The wise men brought him kingly gifts,
The star shone bright as flame. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
4. |
Because of that dear baby
Whose coming blessed the earth,
Our hearts are full of Christmas joy,
and Christmas love and mirth. |
