One starlit night      One couple in distress           One shabby stable                Only one place to rest One group of shepherds      One night long ago           One angel's message                Only one place to go One wise man's journey      One king did they seek           One Son of David                Only one child so meek One reason for coming      One goal on earth's sod           One death that redeems           ...
