Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. Picture a stable in Judea. Picture a sacred, silent night. And can you hear The angels near And see the star so bright?
Picture the little baby Jesus. Think of his life and words so dear. Sing praise to him; Remember him, As you picture Christmas this year.
2. Picture the kind and gentle Joseph. Picture the mother, Mary, fair. And can you see So rev’rently The shepherds kneeling there?
Picture the little baby Jesus. Think of his life and words so dear. Sing praise to him; Remember him, As you picture Christmas this year.
