11083. Christ At Bethlehem

1 Long ago on Christmas night,
Shepherds saw the heav’nly light,
Heard the song of angels bright,
Christ was born at Bethlehem.

Refrain:
Christ our king, Christ our king
Every voice His praise shall sing;
Jesus Christ our Lord and king,
Came that day to Bethlehem.

2 Quick to Bethlehem, they, to see
What the angels’ joy could be;
Lo! for love of you and me,
Christ was born at Bethlehem. [Refrain]

3 Come with them to sacred stall,
On our knees with wise men fall;
Savior, king and Lord of all,
Christ was born at Bethlehem. [Refrain]
