What Can I Give Songtext
von Mahalia Jackson

What can I give a baby so fair


What can I give a baby so fair
On this holy morn
What can I give Him
Lying there on Mary′s breast so warm
What can I give Him, as poor as I am (what can I give)
Heavenly holy child (what can I give)
(What can I give)
Was I a shepherd, I'd give him a lamb
Sweet little Jesus, so mild

The night is cold, the darkness breaking
The snow has covered all the earth
The trumpet sounding
The angel′s sing (the angel's praying)
Praises to his glorious birth
What can I give Mary's child
On this holy morn
I give my love, Lord it′s all that I have
And then I give my heart
