Verse 1

D                            Em            

See him lying on a bed of straw

A7                                 D

draughty stable with an open door;

D                          Em          

Mary cradling the babe she bore

       A7                             D  

The Prince of glory is his name.

Chorus

G                            D    

O now carry me to Bethlehem to

     Em       ^A7      D     ^A7

To see the Lord of love again

D                                  Em

just as poor as was the stable then

The Prince of glory when he came

Verse 2

D                               Em

Star of silver, sweep across the skies,

A7                                   D

Show where Jesus in the manger lies;

D                                             Em

Shepherds, swiftly from your stupor rise

      A7                              D

To see the Saviour of the world!

[Repeat Chorus - Interlude]

Verse 3

D                                  Em

Angels, sing again the song you sang,

A7                                 D

Sing the glory of God's gracious plan;

D        -            -                -       Em

Sing that Beth - le-hem's lit-tle ba-by can

A7                             D

Be the Saviour of us all.

[Repeat Chorus - Interlude]

Verse 4

D                                         Em

Mine are riches, from your poverty,

A7                                D

From your innocence eternity;

D                                       Em

Mine forgiveness by your death for me,

A7                                 D

Child of sorrow for my joy.
