Come down to the manger, see the little stranger Wrapped in swaddling clothes, the prince of peace Wheels start turning, torches start burning The whole wise men who journey from the east How a little baby boy brought the people so much joy Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light This must be Christmas, must be tonight A shepherd on the hillside, over my flock I bide On a cold winter night, a band of angels sing In a dream I heard a voice say, "Fear not, come rejoice It's the end of the beginning, praise the new born King" How a little baby boy brought the people so much joy Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light This must be Christmas, must be tonight I saw it with my own eyes, written up in the skies But why a simple herdsmen such as I And then it came to pass, he was born at last Right below the star that shines on high How a little baby boy brought the people so much joy Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light This must be Christmas, must be tonight This must be Christmas, must be tonight
