Long, Long Ago

Wind in the olive reed softly did blow

'Round little Bethlehem long, long ago

Sheep on the hillside lay whiter than snow

Shepherds were watching them long, long ago

Then from the happy sky angels bent low

Singing their anthems of joy long ago

For in a manger bed, cradled we know

Christ came to Bethlehem long, long ago

Long, long, long ago

Christ came to Bethlehem long, long ago

Stars in their circling courses did go

Telling their tidings of joy long ago

Wise men and kings gave their treasures of gold

Gifts to the Boy, born a King long ago

Long, long, long ago

Christ came to Bethlehem long, long ago

Wind in the olive tree softly did blow

'Round little Bethlehem long, long ago

Still we remember how gentle and low

God came to dwell with us long, long ago

Long, long, long ago

God came to dwell with us long, long ago

Long, long, long ago

God came to dwell with us long, long ago

God came to dwell in us

Came to dwell in us

We remember it long, long ago

God came to dwell in us

Came to dwell with us

Came to dwell with us long, long ago
