Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
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.
REFRAIN
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.
VERSE 2
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.
VERSE 3
Angels sing again the song you sang,
sing the glory of God's gracious plan;
sing that Bethl'em's little baby can
be the saviour of us all.
VERSE 4
Mine are riches, from your poverty,
from your innocence, eternity;
mine, forgiveness by your death for me;
child of sorrow for my joy.
