Tell Me - The New Christy Minstrels

One Christmas Eve the child said to me

Tell me the story again

About the cold night

With no place to go

Oh what did they do then

Tell me tell me again

About the cows and the sheep

Did they stay very still

While she sang Him to sleep

And what was He like

When He was small

Was He afraid of the dark

And how the wee King

The Light of the World

Was born in Bethlehem

Tell me how the great star

With it's heavenly glow

Led the shepherd's afar

Through the cold winter's snow

And she brought forth her first born son

And wrapped Him in swaddling clothes

And laid Him in a manger

And there were in the same country

Shepherds abiding in the fields

Keeping watch over their flocks by night

And lo the angel of the Lord came upon them

And they were so afraid

And the angel said unto them

Fear not

For behold I bring you good tidings of great joy

Which shall be to all people

For unto you is born this day

In the City of David a Savior

Which is Christ the Lord

And this shall be a sign unto you

Ye shall find the Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes

Lying in a manger

And suddenly there appeared with the angel

A multitude of heavenly hosts

Praising God and saying

Glory glory to God

On earth peace and goodwill

So little one

The Savior was born

Born in Bethlehem

Glory hallelujah

Born the King of the world
