The drummer boy played a tune so sweet,
As he knelt at Mary's feet.
While baby Jesus lays a sleep.
All are calm as they hear the beat.
The scene is in the believers memory.
That one so innocent became a baby
and grew up in a carpenter's family
only to endure so much cruelty.
His love kept Him here.
Because to him we are so dear.
He wants to draw us near,
to give us hope and take our fears.
