Cradle in Bethlehem

Merry Christmas!


Cradle in Bethlehem

by Alfred Bryan, Larry Stock

Sing sweet and low your lullaby
Till angels say,
"Amen."
A mother tonight is rocking
A cradle in Bethlehem

While wise men follow through the dark
A star that beckons them.
A mother tonight is rocking
A cradle in Bethlehem.

"A little will shall lead them," the
Prophets said of old.
In tempest storms he leads men
Far as the bells is tolled.

Sing sweet and low your lullaby
Till angels say, "Amen."
A mother tonight is rocking
A cradle in Bethlehem



A mother tonight is rocking a cradle in Bethlehem
A mother tonight is rocking her baby in Bethlehem






Jesus ~ the Messiah promised by the prophets of old, the Son of God, the Bread of Life, the Living Water, the Savior, the Lamb of God, the Prince of Peace, the King of kings and Lord of lords.

But before He turned water to wine or healed the blind and lame, before He was baptized by John or was tempted in the desert, before He fed the five thousand and walked on water, before He crossed the Pharisees and was sentenced to death ... He was the sweet baby of Mary.

And today we celebrate His birth.

Thank You for coming, Jesus.  Happy Birthday.
