Original text and translations
{{Roll-ing back the years a few thou-sand You can see the lights in the inn. Hos-pi-tal-i-ty not a strong point Jo-seph's pa-tience now wear-ing thin. Tak-ing Ma-ry in-to the sta-ble Clears a space that’s a-ni-mal free. Not a ro-yal start for a Great King, But the rest is now hi-sto-ry An-gels in the hea-vens sang a song of joy. Tel-ling us to wor-ship Ma-ry's new born ba-by boy. Then the shep-herds came to the sta-ble Do-ing what the an-gels had said. And the wise men led by the star-light Gave their gifts to lay round his bed. An-gels in the hea-vens sang a song of joy. Tel-ling us to wor-ship Ma-ry's new born ba-by boy. Won’t you come to praise our re-deem-er Ly-ing in a man-ger of hay. First to pay re-spects were the shep-herds But rol-ing on the years a few thou-sand You can be the la-test You can be the la-test You can be the la-test to-day. }}
