lyrics

According to the collection from Birchen Music & Publishing:

"A translation of the first verse, offered by Greg MacThomais: 'When the waters of Jordan were calm and sleepy / And on Zion's beautiful slopes the stillness was at rest; / When Bethlehem's Shepherds were watching the flocks / by the light of the stars, protecting them from all harm.'"
