The Nativity Charlieku

Joseph
and Mary
traveled on a

donkey
to give birth
in Bethlehem,

but there
was no room
in the town's inn

In the 
silence of
the starry night,

born in
a manger
the dear Savior 

Angel
announces
to the shepherds:

"Today
nearby is 
born a baby 

God's son 
the Savior,
Jesus the Lord

Angels 
sing: "Glory
to God in the

highest,
peace to His
people on earth.

Shepherds
came to the
stable to pay

homage
to the new
Infant Jesus.

Magi
came adored
offered Him gifts
