"When He is King we will give Him a King's gifts,
3
Myrrh for its sweetness, and gold for a crown,
4
Beautiful robes", said the young girl to Joseph,
5
Fair with her first-born on Bethlehem Down.
6
Bethlehem Down is full of the starlight,
7
Winds for the spices, and stars for the gold,
8
Mary for sleep, and for lullaby music,
9
Songs of a shepherd by Bethlehem fold.
10
When He is King they will clothe Him in grave-sheets,
11
Myrrh for embalming, and wood for a crown,
12
He that lies now in the white arms of Mary,
13
Sleeping so lightly on Bethlehem Down
14
Here He has peace and a short while for dreaming,
15
Close-huddled oxen to keep him from cold,
16
Mary for love, and for lullaby music,
17
Songs of a shepherd by Bethlehem Down.
