Neighbor, what has you so excited? Do tell me Haven't you heard a child is born that all want to Son of a pure and modest virgin, her name They say, her baby is the savior prophets
I would be pleased to go with you so likely go But can we our time to see him? Shop on the road? Have you some cake to the infant? Sugar-plums, too? I'm sure that Mary's is lovely, tidy and new
I am afraid that mistaken, wrong as can be This blessed maiden has no splendid rich to stay For she lies a wretched stable, dirty and poor There is no table for your presents, the floor
Surely she has a soft cradle there for the child One has to and calm an infant so weak and so mild What sort of guards and has she to give her aid? Cannot the heavenly father's help the poor maid?
All could think to find for a cradle, a manger bed Bundle of dusty, dry straw to pillow his Joseph, her husband, he cares for best as he can In place of servant, ox and donkey are on
Traveling tires me and journey seems a long way Only to see a new-born lying on hay Maybe you shepherds find excitement in affair But I am used to things much in which to share
You must not talk way, my neighbor, mark what I say Upon my honor, this is our savior born on day It is his choice to come so there in a stall his power and grace so gently to one and all
O blessed mother, us all from arrogant pride May we, when life on is ended,hasten to your side Daring to hope you present us to your dear son And that we'll the bliss and joy of paradise won
