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
