What Songs Were Sung
Lyrics
We cannot tell, we do not know What stars shone down so long ago, When Mary birthed her own sweet Son, And peace and love became as one. The Son of God, as scriptures said, Was Virgin born in a
tiny shed, Where simple shepherds stood hard by, While heav’nly sound filled up the sky. Now let us stand, uncovered all, Before this creche in lowly stall, Where kings and angels dignify God’s gift, His Son,
in humility. We do not know, we cannot tell What songs were sung, what starlight fell, Or why the holy mystery stands For so many years in so many lands. We cannot tell, we do not know What stars shone
down so long ago, When Mary birthed her own sweet Son, And peace and love became as one.
