Come down to the manger, see the little stranger
Wrapped and swaddled, oh the prince of peace
The wheels start turning, torches start burning
Behold the wise men, who journey from the east

How a little baby boy brought the people so much joy
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
This must be Christmas, must be tonight

A shepherd on a hillside, over my flock I bide
On a cold winter night, a band of Angels sing
In a dream I heard a voice said, "Fear not, come rejoice
It's the end of the beginning, just praise the new born King"

How a little baby boy brought the people so much joy
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
This must be Christmas, must be tonight

Saw it with my own eyes, written up in the skies
Why a simple herdsmen such as I
And then it came to pass, he was born at last
Right below the star that shines on high

How that little baby boy brought the people so much joy
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
This must be Christmas, must be tonight
This must be Christmas, must be tonight
