First Line: Yes, I shall watch the sky tonight
Last Line: With heavenly halo on his head.
Subject(s): Bethlehem, Palestine; Children; Jesus Christ - Childhood & Youth; Childhood
Yes, I shall watch the sky tonight
And search the wide horizon far,
Expectant of the moving light
The wise men knew to be His star;
And truly as it guided them
Who from the East so long ago
Came joyfully to Bethlehem
It will lead me, and I shall know,
Though roof be very lowly where
Its silvery light is softly shed,
That I shall find the Christ-child there
With heavenly halo on His head.
