1.
A little babe was sleeping, in a manger in a barn.
In heaven bells were ringing, when she took Him in her arms.
In fields there were some shepherds who were tending to their sheep.
When angels came from heaven, to tell them who they’d meet.
Chorus:
Halle-lu-jah, Halle-lu-jah, Halle-lu-jah, Christ the king is born.
2.
On the road to Bethlehem, three wise men traveled far.
They came to see the child, guided by a shining star.
They laid their gifts before Him, gold, frankincense, myrrh.
Then angels up in heaven sang a song the whole world heard.
3.
Now every person knows the rest, how He came to save their soul.
To save us all from emptiness, as the prophets had foretold.
For God had loved the world so much, that He gave His only son.
