[D] [A7] [D]
[G] [A7] [D]
[Verse 1]
[D] See him lying on a [G] bed of straw,
A [A] draughty stable with an [D] open [A7] door;
[D] Mary cradling the [G] babe she bore
The [A7] Prince of glory is his [D] name. [D7]
|[Chorus]
|[G] Oh, now carry me to [D] Bethlehem,
|To [A7] see the Lord of [D] love again;
|[D] Just as [B7] poor as was the [Em] stable then,
|The [A7] Prince of glory when he [D] came!
[D] [G] [A7] [D]
[Verse 2] [PLAY SOFTLY]
[D] Star of silver, sweeps a-[G]cross the skies,
[A] Show where Jesus in the [D] manger [A7] lies;
[D] Shepherds, swiftly from your [G] stupor rise
To [A] see the Saviour of the [D] world!
[Verse 3] [PLAY SOFTLY]
[D] Angels, sing again the [G] song you sang,
[A] Sing the glory of God's [D] gracious [A7] plan
[D] Sing that Bethl'em's little [G] baby can
[A] Be the Saviour of us [D] all. [D7]
|[Chorus]
|[G] Oh, now carry me to [D] Bethlehem,
|To [A7] see the Lord of [D] love again;
|[D] Just as [B7] poor as was the [Em] stable then,
|The [A7] Prince of glory when he [D] came!
[Musical Interlude] [G][D][A7][D][G][A7] [D]
[Verse 4]
[D] Mine are riches, from your [G] poverty,
[A] From your innocence [D] eterni- [A7] ty;
[D] Mine forgiveness by your [G] death for me,
[A] Child of sorrow for my [D] joy. [D7]
|[Chorus]
|[G] Oh, now carry me to [D] Bethlehem,
|To [A7] see the Lord of [D] love again;
|[D] Just as [B7] poor as was the [Em] stable then,
|The [A7] Prince of glory when he [D] came! [D7]
|[Chorus]
|[G] Oh, now carry me to [D] Bethlehem,
|To [A7] see the Lord of [D] love again;
|[D] Just as [B7] poor as was the [Em] stable then,
|The [A7] Prince of glory when he [D] came!
|[SLOWER]
|The [A7] Prince of glory when he [D] came!
|[SLOWER AGAIN]
|The [A7] Prince of glory when he [D] came!
