3.  Drie wyse mans van die ooste
Twee trotse ouers, Josef en Maria
Een stêr vir die Heil-ge lig
Jesus was gebore in Bethlehem

4.  Vier herders met hul skape
Drie wyse mans van die ooste
Twee trotse ouers, Josef en Maria
Een stêr vir die Heil-ge lig
Jesus was gebore in Bethlehem

5.  Duisende engele wat sing "Ere aan God"
Vier herders met hul skape
Drie wyse mans van die ooste
Twee trotse ouers, Josef en Maria
Een stêr vir die Heil-ge lig
Jesus was gebore in Bethlehem

Jesus Was Born In Bethlehem
(a Christmas carol written in the musical style of 
"The Twelve Days Of Christmas")

Way down in the land of Judea, oh yeah!
God sent to the earth a Savior, for all men
 

1.  One star for the Holy Light
Jesus was born in Bethlehem

2. Two proud parents, Joseph and Mary
One star for the Holy Light
Jesus was born in Bethlehem

3. Three wisemen from the east
Two proud parents, Joseph and Mary
One star for the Holy Light
Jesus was born in Bethlehem

4. Four shepherds with their sheep
Three wisemen from the east
Two proud parents, Joseph and Mary
One star for the Holy Light
Jesus was born in Bethlehem

5. Thousands of angels singing "Glory to God"
Four shepherds with their sheep
Three wisemen from the east
Two proud parents, Joseph and Mary
One star for the Holy Light
Jesus was born in Bethlehem
