Gather the following:
- minimal costumes for Mary and Joseph
- large star (yellow with glitter)
- a doll for baby Jesus wrapped in a blanket
Choose children to be the following:
- Mary
- Joseph
- 3 lambs
- 3 cattle
- the star
- the rest will be the choir of angels (they can remain in their seats)
Set the children up in the front to look like the manger scene.
Sing the entire song.
Divide the choir up for the chorus and half sing the first "asleep" the other half sings the echo of "asleep." They all sing the rest including those in the manger scene.
If time permits, choose a new set of children to be the manger scene and sing the song again.
(You can also use a flannel board manger scene or gather pictures to go along with the song.)
