The Children Of Bethlehem

The children of Bethlehem One cold winter's night Were wakened by singing And a heavenly light With whispers and murmurs On pattering feet The children of Bethlehem Came into the street The people were sleeping All safely in bed The children heard singing In the sky overhead They heard, "Peace will be with you Whoever you are Oh, come to the stable Come, follow the Star!" And the children of Bethlehem That cold winter's night Came down to the stable They followed the light Now the roosters were crowing At the dawning of day The baby lay sleeping In the manger he lay The children of Bethlehem Came in two by two They came to the manger That the Star brought them to They came to the manger Where the sweet Baby lay The children of Bethlehem Showed us the way --- The Children of Bethlehem - John Denver
