A Carol Of Christmas At Bethlehem Lyrics

(The Narrator)

1. A King might miss the guiding star,
A Wise Man's foot might stumble;
For Bethlehem is very far
From all except the humble.

[Chorus of Children:]
'Tis Christmas Day! 'Tis Christmas Day!
And Christmas hearts are humble.

2. Some pilgrims seek a hallowed shrine;
Some soldiers march to danger;
Some travellers seek an inn - its sign,
"The Baby in a Manger."

When Christ was born on Christmas morn,
They laid Him in a manger.

3. There is no palace in that place,
Nor any seat of learning,
No hill-top vision of God's face
No alter candles burning.

O come and see our Christmas tree
And Christmas candles burning.

4. But he who gets to Bethlehem
Shall hear the oxen lowing;
And, if he humble kneel with them,
May catch far trumpets blowing:

From far away, on Christmas Day,
May hear God's trumpets blowing.
