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, alleluia
How the angels sang
Alleluia, alleluia
How it rang
And the sky was bright
With a holy light
'Twas the birthday of a king
King

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, alleluia
How the angels sang
Alleluia, alleluia
How it rang
And the sky was bright
With a holy light
'Twas the birthday of a king
King

It's extravagant, it doesn't make sense
We never comprehend the way you love us
It's unthinkable, only heaven knows
Just how far you'd go
To say you love us, to say you love us, to say you love us

Alleluia, alleluia
How the angels sang
Alleluia, alleluia
How it rang
And the sky was bright
With a holy light
'Twas the birthday of a king
