Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How far is it to Bethlehem?
Not very far
Shall we find the stable room
Lit by a star?
[Verse 2]
Can we see the little child?
Is He within?
If we lift the wooden latch
May we go in?
[Verse 3]
May we stroke the creatures there
Ox, ass, or sheep?
May we peep like them and see
Jesus asleep?
[Verse 4]
If we touch His tiny hand
Will He awake?
Will He know we've come so far
Just for His sake?
[Verse 5]
Great kings have precious gifts
And we have naught
Little smiles and little tears
Are all we brought
[Verse 6]
For all weary children
Mary must weep
Here, on His bed of straw
Sleep, children, sleep
[Verse 7]
God in His mother's arms
Babes in the byre
Sleep, as they sleep who find
Their heart's desire
Written by: Frances Chesterton
