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 the King

'Twas a humble birth place,
But O how much God gave to us that day,
From the manger bed what a path has led,
What a perfect holy way.
