::::''1.'' :If I had been in Bethlehem the night of Jesus' birth :And heard afar the angels' joyful song of peace on earth :If I had seen the shepherds come to seek the baby fair :I think I would have followed them, and knelt beside them there ::::''2.'' :If I had lived in eastern lands and watched with eager eyes :If I had seen his star appear and blaze among the skies :If I had seen the wise men go to seek the newborn King :I think I would have followed them, my finest gifts to bring ::::''3.'' :I did not live in Bethlehem that Christmas night of old :Or travel with the wise men there, to bring him gifts of gold :But I can give a greater gift than any earthly gem :For all my heart and all my love will be my gift to him.
