Las Posadas (The Lodgings)

To Honor the Contempt and the Rebuffs which Mary and Joseph Encountered at Bethlehem.


Pray give us lodging dear
Sir in the name of heaven
All day since morning to
Travel we’ve given
Mary my wife is ex-
pecting a child
She must have shelter tonight
Let us in, let us in
You cannot stop here I
Won’t make my house an inn
I do not trust you your
Story is thin
You two might rob me and
Then run away
Find somewhere else you can stay
Go away, go away
Please show us pity your
Heart cannot be so hard
Look at poor Mary so
Worn and so tired
We are most poor but I’ll
Pay what i can
God will reward you good man
Let us in, let us in
You try my patience I’m
Tired and must get some rest
I’ve told you nicely but
Still you insist
If you don’t go and stop
Bothering me
I’ll fix you, I guarantee
Go away, go away
Sir I must tell you my
Wife is the Queen of heaven
Chosen by God to de-
liver His son
Jesus is coming to
Earth on this eve
Oh, heaven make him be-
lieve, let us
In, let us in
Joseph, dear Joseph, oh
How could I be so blind
Not to know you and the
Virgin so fine
Enter blessed pilgrims my
House is your own
Praise be to God on His throne
Please come in, please come in
Enter, enter holy
Pilgrims, holy pilgrims, welcome
To my humble home
Though ‘tis
Little I can
Offer all I
Have please call your own
Enter, enter, holy pilgrims
holy pilgrims, welcome
To my humble home, though ‘tis
Little I can offer I can offer all I
Have please call your own
