Long Years Ago

Ana Maria Alberghetti:


Long years ago on a deep winter night,
High in the heav'ns a star shone bright,
While in a manger a wee baby lay,
Sweetly asleep on a bed of hay.

Jesus the Lord was that baby so small,

Laid down to sleep in a humble stall;
Then came the star and it stood overhead,
shedding its light 'round His little bed.

Dear baby Jesus, how tiny Thou art,

I'll make a place for Thee in my heart,
And when the stars in the heavens I see,
Ever and always I think of Thee.
