"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
