when he is king we will give him the king's gifts
myrrh for its sweetness and gold for a crown
"beautiful robes" said the young girl to joseph
fair with her first-born on bethlehem down
bethlehem down is full of the starlight
winds for the spices and stars for the gold
mary for sleep and for lullaby music
songs of a shepherd by bethlehem fold
when he is king they will clothe him in grave-sheets
myrrh for embalming and wood for a crown
he that lies now in the tired arms of mary
sleeping so lightly on bethlehem down
here he has peace and a short while for dreaming
close-huddled oxen to keep him from cold
mary for love and for lullaby music
songs of a shepherd by bethlehem fold
