Come down to the manger, see the little stranger Wrapped in swaddling clothes, the prince of peace The wheels start turning, torches start burning And the old wise men journey from the East How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light This must be Christmas, must be tonight A shepherd on a hillside, where over my flock I bide On a cold winter night, a band of angels sing Then I dreamed I heard a voice saying, "Fear not, come rejoice It's the end of the beginning, praise the newborn King" How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light Must be Christmas, must be tonight I saw it with my own eyes, written up in the skies 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 How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light Must be Christmas, must be tonight ♪ Must be Christmas, must be tonight Be tonight, be tonight, be tonight
