| When Mary birthed Jesus, 'twas in a cow's stall, |
| With wise men and farmers and shepherds and all. |
| But high from God's heaven a star's light did fall, |
| And the promise of ages it did then recall. |
| If Jesus had wanted for any wee thing, |
| A star in the sky, or a bird on the wing, |
| Or all of God's angels in heav'n for to sing, |
| He surely could have it, 'cause he was the King. |
