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 birth-place, but oh, how much
God gave to us that day,
From the manger bed what a path has led,
what a perfect, holy way. [Refrain] Topics: Christ Lordship; Jesus Our Savior : His Birth Languages: English Tune Title: NEIDLINGER
