A CAROL FOR SLEEPY CHILDREN
A CAROL FOR SLEEPY CHILDREN
When Mary came to Bethlehem
on the first Christmas night
she bore the lovely Christ Child
to be each child’s delight.
There was no room in Bethlehem
for any one so small
and yet so great as Mary’s Child
but in an ox’s stall.
There was no bed in Bethlehem
for any one so poor
and yet so rich as Mary’s Child
but on the stable floor.
Oh! All you little children
who sleep in linen white,
would you not share your cradles
if Jesus came tonight?
