The Birthday of a King
On Christmas Day

In the little village of Bethlehem,
There lay a child one day;
And the sky was bright with a holy light
Over 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.

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