When Jesus Christ, a little child in Bethlehem, was born, There shone a star across the wild more glorious than the morn. It glow'd and gleam'd it blazed and beam'd Above the lonely hill; Ah, blessed star of Bethlehem, It lights the nations still Ah, star of Bethlehem. When Jesus Christ, a little child in Bethlehem, was born, Ah, blessed star of Bethlehem.

Language: English
When Christ, a little Babe was born in Bethlehem, Oh, years and years ago! With voices sweet the angel came to Bethlehem, And sang the Infant Jesus' name, Oh, years and years ago! With hasty steps the shepherds went to Bethlehem. And low before their savior bend, Oh, years and years ago! Ah, would I had been there to see, in Bethlehem, The Babe upon this Mother's knee. Oh, years and years ago! An would I had been there to hold, in Bethlehem, My cloak between Him and cold, Oh, years and years ago. Between Him and the cold.
