There’s a cry over Bethlehem,

there’s a wail of sorrow below.

There’s a cry over Bethlehem,

all the baby boys have been destroyed.

In a dream came a warning,

“Stay away from Herod the great.”

So the Magi travelled home the other way,

and the news he wanted came to late.

Then the angel spoke to Joseph,

“Take the Child with Mary and hide.”

So the family hurried down to Egypt and

remained secluded for awhile.

Herod waited for hie messengers

but they never would return.

In a rage he gave an order,

“Kill all the baby boys two years and under!”

There’s a cry over Bethlehem,

there’s a wail of sorrow below.

There’s a cry over Bethlehem,

all the baby boys have been destroyed.

Matthew 2:13-18
