In Bethlehem on Christmas Eve there shone a mighty star
To guide the three majestic kings who traveled from afar
The object of their searching was a child born that night
Whose birth in a dreary manger stall belied his holy light

And now on Christmas Day we’ve come to celebrate His birth
And give our thanks to what He’s wrought upon this planet Earth
So join our merry band this day, and sing a cheerful song
That we may rest our hearts and souls, and perhaps to sing along
