Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
See him alying 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
Bring God's glory to the heart of man
Sing that Beth'lem's little baby can,
Be salvation to the soul.
VERSE 4
Mine are riches from thy poverty,
From thine innocence, eternity.
Mine forgiveness by thy death for me,
Child of sorrow, for my joy.
CODA
Just as poor as was the stable then,
The Prince of glory when He came.
