Long years ago
on a deep winter night
High in the heavens
a star shone bright
While in the manger
a wee baby lay
Sweetly asleep, on a bed of hay
Jesus our lord
was that baby so small
Lay down to sleep
in a humble stall
Then came the star
and it stood over head
Shedding its light
round his little head
Dear baby Jesus
how tiny thou art
I'll make a place
for thee in my heart
And when the stars
in the heavens I see
Ever and always
I'd think of thee
