THE CHILDREN OF BETHLEHEM
(Tom Paxton)

The children of Bethlehem,
One cold winter's night,
Were wakened by singing,
And a heavenly light.
With whispers and murmurs,
On pattering feet,
The children of Bethlehem
Camne into the street.

The people were sleeping,
All safely in bed.
The children heard singing
In the sky overhead.
They heard, "Peace will be with you,
Whoever you are.
Oh, come to the stable
Come, follow the Star!"

And the children of Bethlehem,
That cold winter's night,
Came down to the stable
They followed the light.
Now the roosters were crowing
At the dawning of day.
The baby lay sleeping
In the manger he lay.

The children of Bethlehem
Came in two by two.
They came to the manger
That the Star brought them to.
They came to the manger
Where the sweet Baby lay.
The children of Bethlehem
Showed us the way.
