Verse One:
Told in a vision that she was with child
Kind, loyal Joseph stood by Mary’s side
To Bethlehem from Galilee
They traveled that winding road faithfully
Verse Two:
Three traveled in from far Eastern lands
Wise men with gifts for the Son of Man
Frankincense, Myrrh and shining gold
To witness the truth of glory foretold
(Chorus One)
Verse Three:
They came upon shepherds and lo did they find
On hay in a manger lay mother and child
King of all men while just a babe
He broke all the chains that would keep us slaves
Verse Four:
Now when you raise a glass with good cheer
Warm by the fire with your loved ones near
Remember those still cold in the night
And welcome them in with His candlelight
Chorus One:
Under a star, shining so bright
He was born on this winter’s night
In a town called Bethlehem
The Greatest Gift was given to men
Chorus Two:
A choir of angels singing on high
Brought tears of joy to the shepherds’ eyes
In a town called Bethlehem
The Greatest Gift was given to men
