Joseph led the donkey that Mary rode
All the way to Bethlehem
Looking for a place for Mary to rest
All the rooms were taken at the inn

The time was up for Mary the stars lit up the midnight
And they found a stable filled with hay
Wrapped in swaddling clothes and resting in a manger
Was the place where baby Jesus lay

Joseph led the donkey that Mary rode
All the way to Bethlehem
Looking for a place for Mary to rest
All the rooms were taken at the inn

The three wise men brought gifts to baby Jesus
Gold frankincense and myrrh
The shepherds gathered around to worship our Savior
Celebrating baby Jesus's birth

And Joseph led the donkey that Mary rode
All the way to Bethlehem
Looking for a place for Mary to rest
All the rooms were taken at the inn
Joseph led the donkey that Mary rode
All the way to Bethlehem
