Into the wilderness of Bëtlehêmnê
Song
1. In the wilderness of Bethlehem; in the care of shepherds, ; Great joy is proclaimed; Because in the barn of the cattle, ; In the manger of oxen, donkeys, ; Our Savior is born. ; ; 2. Oh holy Joseph, what were you thinking, ; That you chose a stable, ; In that deserted region. ; Come to us with Mary, ; With the little Jesus born, ; And dwell in our hearts. ; ; 3. That we too, with the angels, ; With the shepherds, ; May we praise. ; To our long-awaited Messiah, ; To our sweet Jesus, ; Glory! may we cry out.
