Little Drummer Boy

1. Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum 
A new-born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum 
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum 
To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum, 
um pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, 

So to honor Him, pa rum pum pum pum, 
When we come.

2. Baby Jesus, pa rum pum pum pum 
I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum 
That’s fit to give the King, pa rum pum pum pum, 
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, 

Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum, 
On my drum?

3. Mary nodded, …
The ox and lamb kept time, ..
I played my drum for Him, …
I played my best for Him, …

Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum 
Me and my drum.

 

Lift Up Lightly the Stable Bar

1.Lift up lightly the stable bar,

Weary wise men come from afar

Led by a little king’s bright new star –

Is the little king sleeping?

 

2.Golden gifts for a baby king,

Cloth of gold and a golden ring,

Set by this cradle this gift I bring

Is the little king sleeping?

3.Frankincense for a priest divine,

Born on this first Christmas time,

set by the cradle this gift of mine

Is the little king sleeping?

 

4.Myrrh for bitterness yet to be,

Let it not trouble his infancy,

Hush my companions, and pray with me

Is the little king sleeping?

 

5. (Verse 1 repeated)

Lift up lightly the stable bar,

Weary wise men come from afar

Led by a little king’s bright new star –

Is the little king sleeping?
