Benjamin Nicholas, Oxford, The Girl Choristers of Merton College and Simon Hogan - The Little Road to Bethlehem

As I walked down the road at set of sun,
The lambs were coming homewards, one by one, I heard a sheep-bell softly calling them
Along the little road to Bethlehem.
Beside an open door, as I drew nigh,
I heard sweet Mary sing a lullaby.
She sang about the lambs at close of day And rocked her tiny King among the hay.
Across the air the silver sheep-bell rang, The lambs are coming home,' sweet Mary
sang,
Your star of gold is shining in the sky,
So sleep, my little King, go lullaby.'
As I walked down the road at set of sun, The lambs were coming homewards, one
by one,
I heard a sheep-bell softly calling them Along the little road to Bethlehem.
