Children's Song Of The Nativity (How far is it to Bethlehem?) - Cardiff Festival Choir
Written by：Vaughan Williams
How far is it to Bethlehem not very far
Shall we find the stable room lit by a star
Can we see the little child is he within
If we lift the wooden latch may we go in
May we stroke the creatures there or a** or sheep
May we peep like them and see Jesus asleep
If we touch his tiny hand will he awake
Will he know we've come so far just for his sake
Great kings have precious gifts and we have naught
Little smiles and little tears are all we brought
For all weary children Mary must weep
Here on his bed of straw sleep children sleep
God in his mother's arms babe in the byre
Sleep as they sleep who find their heart's desire
