This is the Stable
This is the stable where Jesus was born.
Mother Mary
This is Mother Mary, so tired and forlorn, who found rest in the stable where Jesus was born.
Joseph
This is Joseph, kind and care-worn, who cared for Mary, so tired and forlorn,
Who found rest in the stable where Jesus was born.
The Donkey
This is the donkey, with back firm and strong,
Who was led by Joseph, kind and care-worn,
As it carried Mother Mary, so tired and forlorn,
Who found rest in the stable where Jesus was born.
The Angel
This is the Angel, who burst into song
Praising God for the miracle hurried along
By the task of the donkey, with back firm and strong,
Who was led by Joseph, kind and care-worn,
As it carried Mother Mary, so tired and forlorn,
Who found rest in the stable where Jesus was born.
The Shepherds
These are the shepherds amazed by the song
Of the Angel, who brought their sheep along
To join with the donkey, with back firm and strong,
Who was led by Joseph, kind and care-worn,
As it carried Mother Mary, so tired and forlorn,
Who found rest in the stable where Jesus was born.
The Star
This is the Star, shining bright in the sky
That was seen by the Shepherds amazed by the song
Of the Angel, who then brought their sheep along
To join with the donkey, with back firm and strong,
Who was led by Joseph, kind and care-worn,
As it carried Mother Mary, so tired and forlorn,
Who found rest in the stable where Jesus was born.
The Wise Men
These are the Wise Men, who sought the Most High
As they followed the Star that shown in the sky,
That was seen by the Shepherds amazed by the song
Of the Angel, who then brought their sheep along
To join with the donkey, with back firm and strong,
Who was led by Joseph, kind and care-worn,
As it carried Mother Mary, so tired and forlorn,
Who found rest in the stable where Jesus was born.
The Camels
These are the camels, laden with gold
Who came with the Wise Men, who sought the Most High
As they followed the Star that shown in the sky,
That was seen by the Shepherds amazed by the song
Of the Angel, who then brought their sheep along
To join with the donkey, with back firm and strong,
Who was led by Joseph, kind and care-worn,
As it carried Mother Mary, so tired and forlorn,
Who found rest in the stable where Jesus was born.
Jesus the King
This is the child, Jesus the King
Who is God here on Earth, as the prophets foretold.
And here are the camels, laden with gold
Who came with the Wise Men, who sought the Most High
As they followed the Star that shown in the sky,
That was seen by the Shepherds amazed by the song
Of the Angel, who then brought their sheep along
To join with the donkey, with back firm and strong,
Who was led by Joseph, kind and care-worn,
As it carried Mother Mary, so tired and forlorn,
Who found rest in the stable where Jesus was born.
