Come down to the manger, see the little stranger
Wrapped in swaddling clothes, the prince of peace
The wheels start turning, the torches start burning
And the old wise men, they journey from the East

How a little baby boy
Bring the people so much joy
Son of a carpenter
Mary carried the light
This must be Christmas, must be tonight

A shepherd on a hillside, where over my flock I bide
On a cold winter's night, a band of angels sing
And in a dream I heard a voice, say "Fear not, come rejoice
It's the end of the beginning, praise the newborn king"

How a little baby boy
Bring 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 sky
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
Bring the people so much joy
Son of a carpenter
Mary carried the light
This must be Christmas, must be tonight
Son of a carpenter
Mary carried the light
This must be Christmas, must be tonight
