16437. Bethlehem Lullaby

1 Long ago, there was born
In the city of David,
A sweet, holy babe,
Who was Jesus our king.
Angels sang at His birth,
"Lullaby, peace on earth";
Angels sang at His birth,
"Lullaby, peace on earth."

2 Jesus came as a child
From His Father in Heaven,
And has shown us the way
To be loving and kind,
While the stars sang above,
"Lullaby, God is love";
While the stars sang above,
"Lullaby, God is love."
