Birthday Of A King, The

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.

'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.

Refrain
