Lyrics

1. See him a 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

CHORUS:

Oh 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.

2. Star of silver sweep across the skies;

Show where Jesus in the manger lies;

Shepherds quickly from your stupor rise

To see the saviour of the world

3. 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.

4. Mine are riches from your poverty,

From your innocence, eternity;

Mine forgiveness by your death for me,

Child of sorrow for my joy.
