Jesus

     Among the poor creatures alone he lay

    Side by side with the Ox and Ass

  Staring innocently from a bed of hay,

Helpless in the manger, here he was

  And now this nativity scene of Jesus, Mary and Joseph there

 Two thousand years after this miracle birth

In Bethlehem now to share

 Millions of cribs   adorn homes,

In churches, in palaces in splendour stand

 In nations all big and small,

in schools and everywhere to celebrate the birth over again

                                                            It is the faith

                                             It is indeed the belief in the birth

      Of a saviour lord, the son of God

 Was born as a sweet little babe

  To a poor poor, pure and pretty  virgin,

Blessed maiden full of grace
