[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
A shepherd on a hillside where over my flock, I bide
Oh a cold winter night, a band of angels sing
In a dream I heard a voice, said, "Fear not, come rejoice
It's the end of the beginning, praise the newborn king"

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
I saw it with my own eyes, written up in the skies
But why a simple herdsmen such as I?
And then it came to pass, he was born at last
Right below the star that shines on high

[Chorus]
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
Son of a carpenter
Mary carried the light
This must be Christmas, must be tonight

[Outro]
Must be tonight
Must be tonight
Must be tonight
