In a town called Bethlehem,
Long ago and far away
A tiny baby child was born
And in a manger lay.

They called this baby Jesus.

The boy child was soon a man
As the years went swiftly past.
All the world began to know,
The promised King was here at last.

They called this man Jesus.

He Taught a troubled world to love.
He healed the sick. He fed the poor;
Told people of a place called Heaven
And how to reach that open door.

They called his name Jesus.

Many who lived in that time
Were filled with hate and fear.
Jesus knew as each day passed,
His death was drawing near.

They called his name Jesus.

One dark and desolate day
It happened as the Good Book said,
He hung upon a wooden cross
A crown of thorns upon his head.

They called his name Jesus.

As Christmas time again draws near
Each and everyone does know
That a child was born in Bethlehem
A long, long time ago.

They called his name Jesus.
