1.
If I had been in Bethlehem the night of Jesus' birth
And heard afar the angels' joyful song of peace on earth
If I had seen the shepherds come to seek the baby fair
I think I would have followed them, and knelt beside them there
2.
If I had lived in eastern lands and watched with eager eyes
If I had seen his star appear and blaze among the skies
If I had seen the wise men go to seek the newborn King
I think I would have followed them, my finest gifts to bring
3.
I did not live in Bethlehem that Christmas night of old
Or travel with the wise men there, to bring him gifts of gold
But I can give a greater gift than any earthly gem
For all my heart and all my love will be my gift to him.
