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