OH, COME, LITTLE CHILDREN

A favorite song... my inspiration to this creation...
And, this is the reason for the Season.

For your listening pleasure... "OH, COME, LITTLE CHILDREN" the song...

OH, COME, LITTLE CHILDREN

"Oh, come, little children, oh, come, one and all,
To Bethlehem’s stable, in Bethlehem’s stall.
And see with rejoicing this glorious sight,
Our Father in heaven has sent us this night.

Oh, see in the manger, in hallowèd light
A star throws its beam on this holiest sight.
In clean swaddling clothes lies the heavenly Child,
More lovely than angels, this Baby so mild.

Oh, there lies the Christ Child, on hay and on straw;
The shepherds are kneeling before Him with awe.
And Mary and Joseph smile on Him with love,
While angels are singing sweet songs from above."

Another version's lyrics:

"1. O come, little children, come one and come all,
O come to the manger in Bethlehem's stall,
And see what our Father in heaven above,
Has sent to us all on this earth with his love.

2. O see in the manger so meek and so mild,
O see in the soft light the heavenly Child,
In swaddling clothes folded, his beauty more sweet
Than angels, whose voices his lowly birth greet.

3. His bed, little children, a manger with hay;
His mother and Joseph in ecstasy pray,
The Shepherds in wonder their glad worship bring,
While chorus of angels sweet Glorias sing."


Luke 18:16
American Standard Version of the Holy Bible (1901)

16 "But Jesus called them unto him, saying, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for to such belongeth the kingdom of God."
