Verses 2 and 3:
While shepherds watch their flocks by night
Them see a bright new shining star
Them hear a choir sing, the music seemed to come from afar
Now Joseph and his wife, Mary
Come to Bethlehem that night
Them find no place to born the child
Not a single room was in sight
Verse 4:
By and by they find a little nook
In a stable all forlorn
And in a manger, cold and dark
Mary’s little boy was born
