The song describes the scene around Jesus's birth, with Mary cradling the newborn babe Jesus in the stable. It calls upon the listener to come to Bethlehem to see the child, born in poverty just as the stable was poor, as the Prince of Glory. The stars and angels sing of Jesus's birth, telling of the baby who is king for every seeker on the way.
