Welcome the Babe

The shepherds were watching their flocks in the night

When an angel appeared and said “follow the light”

They knew they were poor with nothing to share

But great adoration and the Christ didn’t care

 

Bring him the best or the best that you got

If it’s a little or if it’s a lot

Neighbor or stranger let everyone in

Welcome the Babe, welcome the King

 

The followed the star cross the mountain so wide

Carrying their offering for hundreds of miles

The finest of incense the gold and the myrrh

But it didn’t matter how much it was worth

 

Bring him the best or the best that you got

If it’s a little or if it’s a lot

Neighbor or stranger let everyone in

Welcome the Babe, welcome the King

 

This is the reason why we give gifts

To honor the memory of all those who lived

And brought him the presents that he loved so well

And saw with their own eyes the first Noel

 

Bring him the best or the best that you got

If it’s a little or if it’s a lot

Neighbor or stranger let everyone in

Welcome the Babe, welcome the King

Welcome the Babe, welcome the King
