On a donkeys back the journey was dreadfully slow .,
With many miles behind them and still some more to go .
To Bethlehem went Mary , Joseph and the donkey.
Their baby child on the way , anytime they would see ,
The miracle of life and a precious little child ,
Day turned into night and they were on the final mile .
When they entered Bethlehem they had no place go .
Hungry and very tired their concern began to show .
The night was cold and lonely, there was no shelter there ,
And there was no word of welcome there for the stranger .
But Joseph kept on knocking on doors in Bethlehem ,
Finally he found a spot that opened up for them .
A small barn provided shelter and a birth place too .
A star above Bethlehem was now clearly in view .
Baby Jesus was born in a barn in Bethlehem .
The angels rejoiced , shepherds flocked and three Magi came ,
To welcome the King and praise the name given to him .
Glory be to Emmanuel forever amen .
