In the little village

Of bethlehem

There lay

A child one day

And the sky was bright

With a holy light

O'er the place

Where jesus lay

Alleluia

O how the angels sang

Alleluia

How it rang

And the sky was bright

With a holy light

'Twas the birthday

Of a king

'Twas a humble birthplace

But o

How much god gave

To us that day

From the manger bed

What a path has led

What a perfect holy way

Alleluia

O how the angels sang

Alleluia

How it rang

And the sky was bright

With a holy light

'Twas the birthday

Of a king
