Lyrics

(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
