Twas 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

Was 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

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
