Story behind the song
A Presbyterian minister named his Advent series with this title, and it sparked a carol to sing for the four weeks of December.
Lyrics
Beckoned to Bethlehem Called to the manger Kneeling with shepherds Off'ring our praise Summoned together To lay gifts at His cradle And we, like the wise men, obey. Walking and searching, Waiting for Bethlehem, Hoping and trusting, Learning to lean, Finding the Holy Child Sleeping before us, And peace, like a river flows to me. Seeing this baby Laid in the manger, Kneeling before Him, Tears fill my ears, Crying to heaven, He's come here as He promised, And peace, like a river flows to me. O, tiny baby, So small and gentle, Come here to save us From all our sin, Quiet You lay here, Cradled in softness. O sleep, little baby, King of Kings.
