Down in Bethlehem

Down in Bethlehem

Down in Bethlehem

Down in Bethlehem at night
Heaven burns a holy light
Oh so bless-ed
On this night the birth of Christ

Born in a cow's feeding trough
On the Roman emperor's watch
Oh so bless-ed
The baby cries very soft

No diaper cloth, we have none
Nothing to dress or put on
Oh so bless-ed
For the baby ruler Son

Bridge/verse:
"Cry no more", the mother said.
For we're wrapped up in Him instead
Oh so bless-ed
The holy baby's wrap is spread

Heaven's wrapped in holy light
Love clothes a beautiful sight
Oh so bless-ed
For the bridegroom, Jesus Christ
