[C]/// [F]/// [G]/// [C]///. (Last 2 lines of chorus)
[C] See him lying on a [F] bed of straw,
A [G] draughty stable with an [C] open [G7] door;
[C] Mary cradling the [F] babe she bore
The [G] Prince of glory is his [C] name. [C7]
{soc}
[F] Oh, now carry me to [C] Bethlehem,
To [G] see the Lord ap-[C]pear to men;
[C] Just as poor as was the [F] stable then,
The [G] Prince of glory when he [C] came!
{eoc}
[C] Star of silver, sweeps a-[F]cross the skies,
[G] Show where Jesus in the [C] manger [G7] lies;
[C] Shepherds, swiftly from your [F] stupor rise
To [G] see the Saviour of the [C] world! [C7]
{soc}
[F] Oh, now carry me to [C] Bethlehem,
To [G] see the Lord ap-[C]pear to men;
[C] Just as poor as was the [F] stable then,
The [G] Prince of glory when he [C] came!
{eoc}
[C] Angels, sing again the [F] song you sang,
[G] Bring God's glory to the [C] heart of [G7]man
[C] Sing that Bethl'em's little [F] baby can
[G] Be salvation to the [C] soul. [C7]
{soc}
[F] Oh, now carry me to [C] Bethlehem,
To [G] see the Lord ap-[C]pear to men;
[C] Just as poor as was the [F] stable then,
The [G] Prince of glory when he [C] came!
{eoc}
[C] Mine are riches, from your [F] poverty,
[G] From your innocence [C] eterni- [G7] ty;
[C] Mine forgiveness by your [F] death for me,
[G] Child of sorrow for my [C] joy. [C7]
{soc}
[F] O now carry me to [C] Bethlehem,
To [G] see the Lord ap-[C]pear to men;
[C] Just as poor as was the [F] stable then,
The [G] Prince of glory when he [C] came!
{eoc}
