Bethlehem Down |
| «When He is King we will give Him a King’s gifts |
| Myrrh for its sweetness, and gold for a crown |
| Beautiful robes», said the young girl to Joseph |
| Fair with her first-born on Bethlehem Down |
| Bethlehem Down is full of the starlight |
| Winds for the spices, and stars for the gold |
| Mary for sleep, and for lullaby music |
| Songs of a shepherd by Bethlehem fold |
| When He is King they will clothe Him in grave-sheets |
| Myrrh for embalming, and wood for a crown |
| He that lies now in the white arms of Mary |
| Sleeping so lightly on Bethlehem Down |
| Here He has peace and a short while for dreaming |
| Close-huddled oxen to keep him from cold |
| Mary for love, and for lullaby music |
| Songs of a shepherd by Bethlehem Down |
