Long, Long Ago

Here are beautiful verses that describe the time when Jesus was born. This text is sometimes listed as a poem and other times as a carol (called either “Long, Long Ago” or “Winds Through the Olive Trees”).

Winds through the olive trees
Softly did blow,
’Round little Bethlehem
Long, long ago.

Sheep on the hillside lay
Whiter than snow;
Shepherds were watching them,
Long, long ago.

Then from the happy sky,
Angels bent low,
Singin their songs of joy,
Long, long ago.

For in a manger bed,
Cradled we know,
Christ came to Bethlehem,
Long, long ago.
