"Birthday of the King" Lyrics

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

Chorus
Halleluia, oh how the angels sang
Halleluia, how it rang
And the sky was bright with God's holy light
It was the birthday of the king

It was a humble birthplace but oh how much
God gave to us that day
From the manger bed what a path was led
What a perfect, holy way

Chorus

Hark! The herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled
Joyful all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic voice proclaim
Christ is born on Bethlehem
Hark! The herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King

Chorus
