Come, come you are welcome
Join our humble home
In manger lay within
Christ-child, without sin
Though no spaces at inn
We will take you in
We animals greet you
Saviour true
Pardon our stable, see
Draughty it may be
But in awe and wonder
We unto you stir
What this blessing we share
Of your loving care?
Mary, Joseph, your child
Born, meek, mild
We be your creatures all
Here now in our stall
Christ, He the world\'s true light
Revealed to our sight
May humans take good care
Of us, with us share
Knowing here you on earth
Had your birth
Sleep, sleep, sweet child, resting
We too worship bring
Here a bale of our hay
Your head on it lay
We look on, wondering
You the Lord and King
Salvation you do bring
Praises ring!
