(G Em G Em)
Come down to the manger, see the little stranger (G Am)
Wrapped in swaddling clothes the Prince of Peace (D C G)
Wheels start turning, torches start burning (G Am)
And the old wise men journey from the East (D C G)
CHORUS:
How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy (Em Am D G)
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light (Am C Am C)
This must be Christmas, must be tonight (Am D G)
A shepherd on a hillside, where over my flock I bide
On a cold winter night a band of angels sing
In a dream I heard a voice saying "Fear not, come rejoice
It's the end of the beginning, praise the new born King"
I saw it with my own eyes, written up in the skies
But why a simple herdsman such as I?
And then it came to pass, he was born at last
Right below the star that shines on high
