A sacred Christmas hymn with text by Bergeta Williams.

See text below.

1. When Christ was born in Bethlehem

the fields were green with spring,

and startled shepherds tending sheep,

saw angels, heard them sing.

Could you and I have been there too,

bidding our dear Lord goodbye?

Did we sing with that angelic choir 

high in the starlit sky?

2. Had we not met in councils there

where the  sons of God conversed

and promised to support the plan

that Christ would bring to earth?

Did we gaze in awesome wonder

at the babe in manger stall?

Somehow, I half remember

Yes, somehow I half recall.
