A King Might Miss The Guiding Star,
A Wise Man’s Foot Might Stumble;
For Bethlehem Is Very Far
From All Except The Humble.
‘Tis Christmas Day! ‘Tis Christmas Day!
And Christian Hearts Are Humble.

Some Pilgrims Seek A Hallowed Shrine;
Some Soldiers March To Danger;
Some Travelers Seek An Innits Sign
“The Baby In A Manger.”
When Christ Was Born On Christmas Morn,
They Laid Him In A Manger.

There Is No Palace In That Place,
Nor Any Seat Of Learning,
No Hilltop Vision Of God’s Face,
No Altar Candles Burning:
O Come And See Our Christmas Tree
And Christmas Candles Burning.

But He Who Gets To Bethlehem
Shall Hear The Oxen Lowing;
And, If He Humbly Kneel With Them,
May Catch Far Trumpets Blowing;
From Far Away, On Christmas Day,
May Hear God’s Trumpets Blowing.
