THE BIRTHDAY OF A KING


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 a King

Humble birthplace but oh how much God gave
To us that holy day!
From the manger bed what a path has led
What a perfect holy way

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.
