Chorus
Asleep, asleep, asleep, asleep, asleep the Savior in a stall!
Asleep, asleep, asleep, asleep, asleep the Lord of all.
The birth of Jesus was anticipated by people for many, many years.
Long ago the prophets said that one day a savior would be born. He
would make it possible for people to return to live with Heavenly
Father again. The people waited and waited for the birth of this baby.
No one knew exactly when Jesus would be born. Some parents taught
their children to look forward to this great event because they knew
Jesus would show the right way to live and then make it possible for
everyone to return to live with Heavenly Father. Without Jesus as our
Savior, no one would be able to live with Heavenly Father again.

Luke 2:8-18
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in
the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the
glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore
afraid.
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring
you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour,
which is Christ the Lord.
