Author: Micahel Perry Hymnal: Worship and Song #3061 (2011) Meter: Irregular Refrain First Line: Oh, now carry me to Bethlehem Lyrics: 1 See him lying on a bed of straw:
a drafty stable with an open door;
Mary cradling the babe she bore -
the Prince of glory is his name.
Refrain:
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.
2 Star of silver, sweep across the skies,
show where Jesus in the manger lies;
shepherds, swiftly from your stupor rise
to see the Savior of the world! [Refrain]
3 Angels, sing again the song you sang,
sing the glory of God's gracious plan;
sing that Bethlehem's little baby can
be the Savior of us all. [Refrain]
4 Mine are riches, from your poverty,
from your innocence, eternity;
mine, forgiveness by your death for me,
Child of sorrow for my joy.
