little baby lying in a stable
whisper me a secret if you're able
is the Kingdom on it's way
or should I come back another day?
little baby lying in a stable
little baby lying in a manger
didn't anyone alert you to the dangers?
all that wood could give you splinters
you might catch a cold, it's mid-winter
little baby in a manger
little baby lying in a casket
if there's a question go ahead and ask it
will I grow up to be king?
now, who would tell you such a thing!
precious little baby in a casket
little baby lying on the altar
no-one here could blame you should you falter
did daddy's hand hold you in place?
could he bear to look upon your face?
oh, pretty little baby on the altar
little baby lying fast asleep
in slumber there's no cause for you to weep
Santa and the angels wait
for you to wake, then we'll celebrate
your birthday, little baby fast asleep
