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;

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 oh! how much God gave to us that day,

From the manger bed, what a path has led

What a perfect holy way

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.
