SEE HIM LYING on a bed of straw,A draughty stable with an open door; Mary cradling the babe she bore; The Prince of glory is His name.
O now carry me to Bethlehem, To see the Lord appear to men; Just as poor as was the stable then, The Prince of glory when He came.
Star of silver, sweep across the skies, Show where Jesus in the manger lies; Shepherds, swiftly from your stupor rise To see the Saviour of the world.
O now carry me to Bethlehem, To see the Lord appear to men; Just as poor as was the stable then, The Prince of glory when He came.
Angels, sing again the song you sang, Bring God’s glory to the heart of man; Sing that Bethlehem’s little baby can Be salvation to the soul.
O now carry me to Bethlehem, To see the Lord appear to men; Just as poor as was the stable then, The Prince of glory when He came.
Mine are riches, from Thy poverty, From Thine innocence, eternity; Mine, forgiveness by Thy death for me, Child of sorrow for my joy.
O now carry me to Bethlehem, To see the Lord appear to men; Just as poor as was the stable then, The Prince of glory when He came.
ONCE, IN ROYAL DAVID’S CITY,Stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a mother laid her babyIn a manger for His bed. Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ, her little child.
WHILE SHEPHERDS WATCHEDtheir flocks by night, All seated on the ground, The angel of the Lord came down And glory shone around.
‘Fear not’ said he, for mighty dread Had seized their troubled mind; ‘Glad tidings of great joy I bring To you and all mankind.
