Bethlehem Down
Sting Song Lyrics

Artist: Sting
Album: If On A Winter's Night... (2009)

'When he is king we will give him a king's gifts,
Myrrh for its sweetness, and gold for a crown,
Beautiful robes', said the young girl to joseph,
Fair with her first-born on bethlehem down.

Bethlehem down is full of the starlight,
Winds for the spices, and stars for the gold,
Mary for sleep, and for lullaby music,
Songs of a shepherd by bethlehem fold.

When he is king they will clothe him in grave-sheets,
Myrrh for embalming, and wood for a crown,
He that lies now in the white arms of mary,
Sleeping so lightly on bethlehem down

Here he has peace and a short while for dreaming,
Close-huddled oxen to keep him from cold,
Mary for love, and for lullaby music,
Songs of a shepherd by bethlehem down.
