Long, Long Ago

Winds through the olive trees

Softly did blow,

Round little Bethlehem

Long, long ago

Sheep on the hillside lay

Whiter than snow;

Shepards were watching them,

Long, long ago.

Then from the happy sky,

Angels bent low,

Singing their songs of joy,

Long, long ago.

For in a manger bed,

Cradled we know,

Christ came to Bethlehem,

Long, long ago.
