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.

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
