Lyrics:
1.Safe in a stable a donkey awakes. Stirred by commotion and Light.
The goat lifts his head at a baby’s first cry, as Jesus is born on this night.
Now safely enfolded Christ’s sheep sweetly rest, Beckoned by his holy call.
A stable once sheltered the dear Lamb of God, who is now the Good Shepherd of all.
2. Safe in a stable a little red cow tells her concern in soft lows.
Her manger receives on its sweet fragrant hay, the Savior who heaven bestows.
Now safely enfolded, Christ’s sheep sweetly rest, Beckoned by His holy call.
A stable once sheltered the dear Lamb of God, who is now the Good Shepherd, of all.
3. Safe in a stable, alarmed mother hens gather their young ‘neath their wing.
As angel-sent shepherds kneel down in the straw to worship the Child as their King!
Now safely enfolded, Christ’s sheep sweetly rest, Beckoned by His holy call.
A stable once sheltered the dear Lamb of God, who is now the Good Shepherd, of all.
