1 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.

Chorus:
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.

2 '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.[Chorus]
