The Lyrics
A few days late, but there are still Christmas-themed ads airing on TV so I figure I’m within the stained glass window. I imagine this being performed with the tempo slowed to a calmer, more Christ-like cadence, sung a cappella by a choir of angels in baritone and bass registers, with frankincense roasting on an open censer. TOS on YouTube
Look alive, shepherds three
Head to town, go see
Joe and Mary’s baby!
In Bethlehem, ’neath the inn
In a livestock pen
Lamb Of God, it is He!
Sleeping in a manger
No fancy bassinet
Do not fret
Do not sweat
All is right
For Christ The King is born tonight
There he is, fast asleep
In their humble keep
Midst the cows and the sheep
Dreams of peace, dreams of spring
Dreams of angels wings
And a calm that runs deep, yeah
Sleeping in a manger
No fancy bassinet
Do not fret
Do not sweat
All is right
For Christ The King is born tonight
[flock of angels harp ensemble interlude that will make you weep]
Now that God has come as Man (Now that God has come as Man)
Pray I’ll love Him all I can (Pray I’ll love Him all I can)
If my love for Him should shake (If my love for Him should shake)
Then Lucifer my soul will take (Then Lucifer my soul will take)
Hush, little shepherd, don’t fret your head
He’d never leave a lamb for dead
Just keep on living right and clean
And don’t skip John 3:16
Do not fret
Do not sweat
Acolyte
Do not fret
Do not sweat
Halo bright
For Christ The King is born tonight
Head to town, go see
Joe and Mary’s baby!
In Bethlehem, ’neath the inn
In a livestock pen
Lamb Of God, it is He!
Sleeping in a manger
No fancy bassinet
Do not fret
Do not sweat
All is right
For Christ The King is born tonight
There he is, fast asleep
In their humble keep
Midst the cows and the sheep
Dreams of peace, dreams of spring
Dreams of angels wings
And a calm that runs deep, yeah
Sleeping in a manger
No fancy bassinet
Do not fret
Do not sweat
All is right
For Christ The King is born tonight
[flock of angels harp ensemble interlude that will make you weep]
Now that God has come as Man (Now that God has come as Man)
Pray I’ll love Him all I can (Pray I’ll love Him all I can)
If my love for Him should shake (If my love for Him should shake)
Then Lucifer my soul will take (Then Lucifer my soul will take)
Hush, little shepherd, don’t fret your head
He’d never leave a lamb for dead
Just keep on living right and clean
And don’t skip John 3:16
Do not fret
Do not sweat
Acolyte
Do not fret
Do not sweat
Halo bright
For Christ The King is born tonight
