NATIVITY SONGS

Along to Bethlehem

Mary and Jo had such a long way to go,

They had to travel to where they were born.

Those were the days, they had no buses or trains,

And it was seventy miles or so.

        

Chorus     

So a donkey, carried Mary,

Along to Bethlehem

Not a comfy, kind of journey,

But God took care of them.

 

Mary and Jo had such a long way to go,

They had to travel to where they were born.

Mary was tired, she was expecting a child,

She would prefer to have stayed back at home.

 

Back to V1 and chorus x2

No room at the inn!

No room at the inn! All reservations were made in the spring.

We’re full to the brim, sorry we can’t let you in.

No room at the inn! We’re fully booked and the party’s in swing.

Please, pardon the din! Sorry we can’t let you in.

CHORUS

Mary, Joseph, tell me what you’re gonna do.

There is no way, you’ll be getting bed and breakfast for two!

 

No room at the inn! I’d say your chances are probably slim.

We’ve not got a thing, sorry we can’t let you in.

No room at the inn! Just take a look at the state that you’re in!

Say, where have you been? Sorry we can’t let you in.

CHORUS

 

No room at the inn! Everyone’s saying the very same thing.

We’d take anything, somebody please let us in. 

INSTRUMENTAL

We’ve room at the inn, it wouldn’t exactly be fit for a king!

Here, give me your things, hope you don’t mind mucking in!

Away in a Manger

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,

The little Lord Jesus, laid down his sweet head.

The stars in the bright sky, looked down where he lay,

The little Lord Jesus, asleep in the hay.

 

The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,

But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes,

I love thee Lord Jesus, look down from the sky,

And stay by my side until morning is nigh.

 

Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay

Close by me for ever, and love me I pray,

Bless all the dear children, in thy tender care,

And fit us for heaven, to live with thee there.

Three Wise Men

We’re riding in the desert, across the sandy plain,

Our camels are all fed up and we’ve lost the way again.

They’re riding in the desert, across the sandy plain,

Our camels are all fed up and they’ve lost the way again.

 

Chorus

Three wise men, three wise men,

Follow the star and you’ll know where you are,

And you’ll find the way again.

 

We’ve made it through the river, and now it looks like rain,

It’s cold and makes us shiver and we’ve lost the way again.

They’ve made it through the river, and now it looks like rain,

It’s cold and makes us shiver and they’ve lost the way again.

 

Chorus

Three wise men x 4
