Original text and translations
English text
- 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.
