Bethlehem Down (Bonus Track)

Bethlehem Down (Bonus Track)

(Album: If On A Winter's Night... - 2009)

"When He is King we will give Him a 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 white 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 Down
