The Christmas Child

(traditional, bewerking: Didi Dubbeldam, Jan van der Plas, Hans Weekhout – Django Music & Publishing)

Listen and watch right away:

When the Christmas Child was born
In a manger lowly
Neath the star of Bethlehem
Sang the angels holy
Shepherd small and shepherd tall
Brought their off’rings to the stall


Let the bells ding, dong
Ring a birthday song
Loud and strong
For a king
For a kingly brother
And his maiden mother
 
From his flock, a lampkin pure
Chose a shepherd brother
And a bowl of whitest milk
Humbly served another
While the last one gave instead
Freshly baked, a loaf of bread

Let the bells ding, dong
Ring a birthday song
Loud and strong
For a king
For a kingly brother
And his maiden mother
 
When the Christmas Child was born
In a manger lowly
Neath the star of Bethlehem
Sang the angels holy
Shepherd small and shepherd tall
Brought their off’rings to the stall

Let the bells ding, dong
Ring a birthday song
Loud and strong
For a king
For a kingly brother
And his maiden mother
 
From his flock, a lampkin pure
Chose a shepherd brother
And a bowl of whitest milk
Humbly served another
While the last one gave instead
Freshly baked, a loaf of bread


Let the bells ding, dong
Ring a birthday song
Loud and strong
For a king
For a kingly brother
And his maiden mother
