Thank you reta cherry, For posting this recording. I enjoyed it and saw you posted some of the lyrics there which helped me a lot.
Here's what I got from the recording. If Y'all can figure out the "?" words or phrases, please post them here.

. JESUS HAD A MANGER FOR HIS BED

Many stars were shining brightly on one peaceful holy night.
Wisemen gazed and watched their movements from below.
When they saw a strange one moving, it was shining fair and bright.
They had never seen one like it there before.

Beautiful star that crowned the heaven led those wisemen on and on
Soon it stopped them near a holy little place.
Then they worshiped God in heaven, knew the Holy One was born.
They would see the loving Savior face to face.

Sweetly sleeping in a manger, in a loving mother’s care.
Bringing true the words the Heavenly Father said.
Many babies sweetly sleeping, wrapped in luxury everywhere
while Jesus had a manger for His bed.

In that rugged wooden manger many saw that holy child
sweetly sleeping on His lowly bed of hay
while the world was all corrupted and had drifted on in vile
an awful debt this baby had to pay

From that rugged wooden manger Jesus grew up from a child
Told His story to the ones He knew was lost
Then He proved how much He loved us. Paid that debt for you and I
when He died in shame up on that rugged cross

Sweetly sleeping in a manger, in a loving mother’s care.
bringing true the words the Heavenly Father said.
many babies sweetly sleeping, wrapped in luxury everywhere
while Jesus had a manger for His bed.

Here is the video from 1937. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNA5D8U ... rt_radio=1
What an antique. These boys only had a few recordings. You will probably have to transcribe what you can understand from the video. It wasn't very plain back then.
Hope this helped.

Has these words: Beautiful stars were shining brightly on one holy peaceful night

And the last line goes like this: While Jesus had a manger for his bed.
