Author: A. Emilie Poulsson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #14247 First Line: Once the little Christ-child lay Lyrics: 1 Once the little Christ-child lay,
Cradled in the fragrant hay,
Long ago on Christmas.
Stranger bed a babe ne’er found,
Wondering cattle stood around,
Long ago on Christmas.
2 By the shining vision taught,
Shepherds for the Christ-child sought,
Long ago on Christmas.
Guided in a starlit way,
Wise men came their gifts to pay,
Long ago on Christmas.
3 And today the whole glad earth
Praises God for that Child’s birth,
Long ago on Christmas.
For the Life, the Truth, the Way,
Come to bless the earth that day,
Long ago on Christmas. Languages: English Tune Title: TORREÓN
Long Ago On Christmas
