As I was walkin' down the road to Bethlehem one night I looked up to the sky and there I saw a wondrous sight A star was shining brighter than I'd ever seen before And a host of angels sang to me, never heard a song so pure They said don't be afraid, we bring good news to all the world With great tidings of joy for every boy and every girl [chorus] A child is born On this holy night And all the angels sing of the joy he brings with a star so bright So come to see Mary's sweet baby And let our praises ring to the newborn king while he sleeps so peacefully So peacefully Oh yeah As I went down into the town to see what I could see Three mighty kings with golden rings came ridin' up to me They said they seek the child who was born beneath the star Of all the kings this one would be the mightiest by far So wake up everybody, 'cause the blessed day has come And ring the bell so we can tell the news to everyone [chorus] A child is born On this holy night And all the angels sing of the joy he brings with a star so bright So come to see Mary's sweet baby And let our praises ring to the newborn king while he sleeps so peacefully So peacefully Hallelujah (repeated) So wake up everybody, 'cause the blessed day has come And ring the bell so we can tell the news to everyone [chorus] A child is born On this holy night And all the angels sing of the joy he brings with a star so bright So come to see Mary's sweet baby And let our praises ring to the newborn king while he sleeps so peacefully So peacefully Oh yeah
