Lyrics for Mary

Yonder I see a star Oh see how bright it's burning Joseph my time is come The Son of God is yearning To come, to come Ask the man for some room to spare And a candle dimly burning Joseph my time is come The Son of God is yearning To come, to come Pain of birth is surely great And yet my fate's been told me Do I see an Angel bright Descending to behold me He comes, he comes, he comes
