| Text: | The Birthday Of A King |
| Author: | William Harold Neidlinger |
| Tune: | [In the little village of Bethlehem] |
| Composer: | William Harold Neidlinger |
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.
Refrain:
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.
2 '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. [Refrain]
