See him alying on a bed of straw
Draughty stable with an open door
Mary cradling the babe she bore
The prince of glory is his name
Oh, now carry me to Bethlehem
To see the Lord of Love again
Just as poor as was the stable then
The prince of glory when he came
Star of silver sweeps across the skies
Show where Jesus in the manger lies
Shepherds swiftly from your stupor rise
To see the Saviour of the world
Oh, now carry me to Bethlehem
To see the Lord of Love again
Just as poor as was the stable then
The prince of glory when he came
Angels, sing again the song you sang
Sing the glory of that gracious plan
Sing that "Bethlehem's little baby can
Be the saviour of our soul."
Oh, now carry me to Bethlehem
To see the Lord of Love again
Just as poor as was the stable then
The prince of glory when he came
Mine are riches from your poverty
From your innocence, eternity
Mine, forgiveness by your death for me
Child of sorrow, for my joy
Oh, now carry me to Bethlehem
To see the Lord of Love again
Just as poor as was the stable then
The prince of glory when he came
Oh, now carry me to Bethlehem
To see the Lord of Love again
Just as poor as was the stable then
The prince of glory when he came
