In a stable in Bethlehem
There’s a party for the king of all kings
All the angels sing, and the wise men bring all their gifts from afar
And the shepherds worship the child
Baby Jesus so meek and so mild
What a wonderful sound, what a joy was found that day
When Jesus the saviour was born

Mother Mary and Joseph came
On a donkey to Bethlehem
It was late and they couldn’t find any room in the inn
Mary’s journey no end in sight
And about to give birth that night
So they finally chose a small stable where Christ Jesus was born

Then the cows and the horses stared
As the baby was crying there
Mary laid him on hay and straw in a small manger bed
But the world didn’t notice him
People carried on just the same
And they missed all of heaven sing joyfully Christ Jesus is King
A Lord
