No room that night for them
In olden Bethlehem --
For Joseph and Mary
So travel-worn and weary.
No place for them at all
Save lowly cattle stall,
So there the Lord was born
That holy Christmas morn.
To shepherds on the plain
Angels did not disdain,
To bring good news for earth
Or sing His holy birth.
May we this Christmas day
To Him our homage pay,
Till earth her joy shall sing
And crown Messiah King!
