Once Upon a Christmas
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Once upon a Christmas far away in Bethlehem
Mary being great with child had no place to lie down
So Joseph found a stable in which Mary had her child
Once upon a Christmas was the birth of Jesus Christ.
Once upon a Christmas in a manger far away
A King was born his palace was a manger filled with hay
His royal robe was swadding cloth a halo was his crown
Once upon a Christmas away in Bethlehem.
And all the world rejoiced because the King was born at last
A saviour had been promised now it had come to pass
And the joyful news that he was born spread quickly far and wide
Once upon a Christmas was the birth of Jesus Christ.
Once upon a Christmas from the Far East wise men came
With gold and myrrh and frankincense to praise the newborn King
And shepherds left their flocks and came to see and worship him
Once upon a Christmas away in Bethlehem.
And all the world rejoiced because the King was born at last
A saviour had been promised now it had come to pass
And the joyful news that he was born spread quickly far and wide
Once upon a Christmas was the birth of Jesus Christ.

A saviour had been promised now it had come to pass
And the joyful news that he was born spread quickly far and wide
Once upon a Christmas was the birth of Jesus Christ.
Once upon a Christmas far away in Bethlehem..
