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! Oh, 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 oh, how much
God gave to us that day;
From the manger bed what a path has led,
What a perfect, holy way.
