《How Far Is It to Bethlehem?》歌词

[00:00:00] How Far Is It to Bethlehem? - Alfred Deller/The Deller Consort

[00:00:18] How far is it to bethlehem

[00:00:22] Not very far

[00:00:26] Shall we find the stable room

[00:00:30] Lit by a star

[00:00:34] Can we see the little child

[00:00:38] Is he within

[00:00:43] If we lift the wooden latch

[00:00:47] May we go in

[00:00:52] May we stroke the creatures there

[00:00:56] Ox a** or sheep

[00:01:00] May we peep like them and see

[00:01:05] Jesus asleep

[00:01:10] If we touch his tiny hand

[00:01:15] Will he awake

[00:01:19] Will he know we've come so far

[00:01:24] Just for his sake

[00:01:30] Great kings have precious gifts

[00:01:35] And we have naught

[00:01:39] Little smiles and little tears

[00:01:43] Are all we brought

[00:01:51] For all weary children

[00:01:56] Mary must weep

[00:02:02] Here on his bed of straw

[00:02:08] Sleep children sleep

[00:02:12] Sleep children sleep

[00:02:23] God in his mother's arms

[00:02:27] Babes in the byre

[00:02:32] Sleep as they sleep who find

[00:02:37] Their heart's desire
