The song describes the scene of Jesus's birth, with Mary cradling the newborn babe Jesus in the stable. It calls upon the shepherds to rise from their sleeping and go see the baby king, as indicated by the star shining in the sky. Angels are called to sing their joyous songs announcing the birth to all those who long to hear the tale that the child in Bethlehem belongs to all people. The chorus repeats a request to be carried to Bethlehem to see Jesus, who was born in poor conditions as the Prince of Glory.
