The Little Drummer Boy

Little Drummer Boy The three wise men had told me About a journey taking place, A baby born in Bethlehem And the star that leads to grace. One by one the gifts they bring As they are laid before a stranger, The three wise men then whispered “He is a King born in a manger.” I watched the little drummer boy As Mary grinned for him to start, He grabbed his drum and took a breath And the beat flowed from his heart. The baby’s face was filled with joy When he heard Pa rum pum pum pum, The ox and lamb kept perfect time To the little boy and his drum.

Sweet! And I think Christ smiles down upon all the little drummer boys at Christmas.
