A simple tale of shepherds and of sheep,
And of a baby cradled in the hay,
Yet in the quiet night there was a Light
That rested on the manger where He lay.
So is the place where love abides a shrine,
And from that radiant beam that shines from far,
There comes a halo to the commonplace,
And to the dear, familiar things, a Star!
