Birth of Baby Jesus

In a stable rude ond bare
Lay the Baby Jesus there.
Dressed in sacred ragged white
On that blessed glorious night

‘Though it's cold, he never shivers
He lies still not even quivers,
Sleeps Mary's newborn love

And the angels rise from up above.

She senses some wonderful glory
And returns to the king to'tell her story.

Of the little Baby sleeping tight
_ Somewhere In this wonderous night,

And the King said to his people:

“This child born who sleeps in the hay
Shall rule the country in every way.
See how he rests in his humble bed
See the halo above his head,

The triumphant day Jesus was born
Is December Twenty-Fifth, Christmas Morn.”
