Think it strange the Bread of Life Would be born in the house of bread, * And the Light of the World be advertised By a star shining overhead And the Good and Gentle Shepherd's birth Heralded through the skies Be announced to lowly shepherds first By angels bending nigh The Gift of God from heaven Wrapped up in swaddling clothes Be given gifts from wise men Of frankincense, myrrh, and gold? It's certainly by no accident He was placed in a feeding trough, Christ our manna from heaven From the cradle to the cross. ~~~**~~~ *(Hebrew meaning of Bethlehem)
