And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. And while they were there, the time came for her to be delivered. And she gave birth to her first-born son and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. Luke 2:4-7
A Precious Little Baby
All of us, in the communion of the saints,
the believers, those who follow the Way,
like the shepherds, visitors from the East
bow down to that precious little baby,
the king lay down in the manger bed
The boy, born of the virgin,
given life by the Spirit,
God within Him
Humbly we bow
sinners unworthy
of your loving grace
at your throne, your bed
Lamb of God, who shed His blood
