Lyrics
This place so cold and so obscure
Must hold a treasure bright and pure,
For through this night as black as sable,
Mary's singing in the stable.
Tonight her family sleeps on hay
With strange new plans they never made;
No cozy fire, no festive table,
Yet Mary's singing in the stable.
Singing dreams asleep inside us;
Singing of a newborn hope;
Knowing now that dawn will find us
Living, breathing
With the One we long to know.
Let's go get close enough to hear
That quiet praise that fills the years,
And learn to join, as we are able,
Mary's singing in the stable.
