SO LONG AGO, IN BETHLEHEM
So long ago, in Bethlehem,
our Savior came to earth.
With angels, all creation sang
to celebrate His birth.
“The curse of sin is broken.
Light the darkness sends away.
The King of every nation in
this rugged manger lays”.
1. A witness to this miracle,
a little lamb, proclaimed
‘baa, baa, baa, baa,
baa, baa, baa, baa’
his simple song of praise.
(to beginning)
2. A witness to this miracle,
a little hen, proclaimed
‘cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck,
cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck, ’
her simple song of praise.
3. A witness to this miracle,
a little dog, proclaimed
‘woof, woof, woof, woof,
woof, woof, woof, woof’
his simple song of praise.
