1. These are the new stars shining so bright, Lighting the world on that first Christmas night.

2. This is the angel proclaiming the birth, Singing, Hosanna! and Peace on the earth!

3. This is the stableshelter so bare; Cattle and oxen first welcomed Christ there.

4. This is the mangersweet hay for a bed Waiting for Jesus to cradle His head.

5. These are the shepherds, humble and mild, Hastning to worship the newborn Christ Child.

6. These are the wise men who followed the star, with frankincense, gold, and myrrh brought from afar.

7. See the sweet mother, Mary so fair, And Joseph, guiding the donkey with care.

8. See the dear Baby of Bethlehem, Little Lord Jesus, the Savior of men.

Note: Pictures can be enlarged and colored for children to use in a playlet for family home evening. The music on page 13 can also be used.
