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 |
