Haste, haste to Brigham Young
The Babe was one of Mary's.
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe, the son of Mary.
Haste, haste to bring him love
Haste, haste to bring him laud
Haste, haste to bring him low
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
Julia Farda adds: "I heard this on a CD called 'A Country Superstar Christmas III'."
Taste, taste to bring his love
Haste, haste to bring him laud
Taste, taste to bring his love
Haste, haste to bring him laud
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
To bathe the Son of Mary.
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
Haste, haste to bring him blood
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The Babe, lying in the arms of Mary
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
Haste, haste to bring him love
The babe, the son of Mary.
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe, the son of Mary.
Taste, taste to bring his love
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The oxen ass are feeding
The ox and ass are feeding
On Mary's nap is sleeping
On Mary's lap is sleeping
Taste, taste
Haste, haste
