Christmas Lullaby
In a stable bare
Lying in a manger.
Just a little Child,
Destined to be King.
And right there by His side
Was His gentle Mother
To hold Him tenderly
A lullaby to sing…
While angels way up in the sky
Sang, “Glory to the Lord on high!”
The Blessed Mother would quietly sing
A Christmas lullaby.
A Christmas lullaby.
Far from Nazareth
The family had traveled.
Up to Bethlehem,
There to be enrolled.
And there the Child was born
And God was truly with us.
The Virgin bore a Son
Just as it was foretold.
While angels way up in the sky
Sang, “Glory to the Lord on high!”
The Blessed Mother would quietly sing
A Christmas lullaby.
A Christmas lullaby.
Quiet was the night
As Mary held her Baby.
Softly did she smile
At His every sigh.
In that stable bare
A Child and His Mother.
A moment just for them
To share a lullaby…
While angels way up in the sky
Sang, “Glory to the Lord on high!”
The Blessed Mother would quietly sing
A Christmas lullaby.
A Christmas lullaby.
