Mary had a baby, a-oh my Lord,
Mary had a baby, a-oh my Lord,
Mary had a baby, a-oh my Lord,
Born, born in Bethlehem.

The hay is his pillow, the manger his bed.
The beasts stand in wonder to gaze on his head,
Then come little children, and hear what we say,
He gladdened the world on that first Christmas day.

Mary had a baby, a-oh my Lord,
Mary had a baby, a-oh my Lord,
Mary had a baby, a-oh my Lord,
Born, born in Bethlehem.

Mary had a baby, a-oh my Lord,
Mary had a baby, a-oh my Lord,
Mary had a baby, a-oh my Lord,
Born, born in Bethlehem.
Born, born in Bethlehem.
Yes, he was born   in   Beth- le- hem.
Born, born in Bethlehem.

Verse 1:
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
The stars in the sky- looked down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.

Verse 2:
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,
But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.
I love thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky,
And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.

Pre-chorus:
Leave your sheep and leave your lambs.
Rise up shepherd and follow!
Leave your ewes and leave your rams,
Rise up shepherd and follow!

Chorus:
Follow! Follow!
Rise up shepherd and follow!
Follow the star of Bethlehem.
Rise up shepherd and follow!

Verse:
There’s a star in the East on Christmas morn,
Rise up shepherd and follow!
It will lead to the place where the Savior’s born,
Rise up shepherd and follow!

Chorus:
Follow! Follow!
Rise up shepherd and follow!
Follow the star of Bethlehem.
Rise up shepherd and follow!

Pre-chorus:
Leave your sheep and leave your lambs.
Rise up shepherd and follow!
Leave your ewes and leave your rams,
Rise up shepherd and follow!

Chorus:
Follow! Follow!
Rise up shepherd and follow!
Follow the star of Bethlehem.
Rise up shepherd and follow!

Verse 1:
Silent night, holy night!
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin, mother and child
Holy Infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.

Verse 2:
Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight!
Glories stream from heaven afar;
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ the Savior is born!
Christ the Savior is born!
