Neighbor, has you so excited? Do tell me please Haven't you heard a child is born that all want to Son of a and modest virgin, Mary's her name say, her baby is the savior prophets proclaim
I would be pleased to go with you so likely go But can we take our time to see him? Shop on the Have you some cake to take the infant? Sugar-plums, I'm sure that Mary's is lovely, tidy and new
I am that you're mistaken, wrong as can be This blessed maiden has no splendid rich to stay For she lies within a wretched stable, dirty and There is no table for presents, only the floor
Surely she has a warm soft there for the child One has to rock and an infant so weak and so mild What sort of guards and servants has she to her aid? Cannot the heavenly father's power help the maid?
All could think to find for a cradle, a manger bed Bundle of dusty, dry straw to pillow his Joseph, her husband, he for Mary best as he can In of servant, ox and donkey are looking 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 better in to share
You must not talk way, my neighbor, mark what I say my honor, this is our savior born on this day It is his choice to so humbly there in a stall Granting his power and grace so to one and all
O blessed mother, us all from arrogant pride May we, when life on is ended,hasten to your side to hope you will present us to your dear son And we'll gain the bliss and joy of paradise won
