[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, they 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
Say "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 sky
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
