Mary, riding on a donkey, sees a village up ahead; Joseph, walking close beside her, hopes to find a quiet bed. Refrain: With the angels tell the story, witness to this holy birth; Mary bears to us a Savior-- Love comes dancing on the earth. Joseph, looking for some lodging, knocks again to no avail; Mary settles for a stable, fearing that her strength will fail. "Mary, Mary, are you sleeping? I am tossing in this hay." "Joseph, I am worn and restless, wondering what will come today."
