G Em G Em
G Am
Come down to the manger, see the little stranger
C D G
Wrapped in swaddling clothes, the prince of peace
G Am
Wheels start turning, torches start burning
C D G
And behold: wise men journey from the East
CHORUS:
Em D C G
How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy
Am
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
D G
This must be Christmas, must be tonight
A shepherd on a hillside, while over my flock I bide
On a cold winter night a band of angels sing
In a dream I heard a voice say, "fear not, come rejoice
It's the end of the beginning, praise the new born king"
CHORUS
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
CHORUS
