Jesus Lay Sleeping

Third-Place Song

Jesus lay sleeping softly by Mary.

Shepherds and wise men now worship this King.

Humbly they kneel by His bed.

They followed the star—to Jesus it led.

O Heavenly Father I want to thank thee

for sending thy Son on the earth to save me.

And as I remember, especially today,

I’ll think of His teachings and live His way.
