Christmas Must Be Tonight

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 whole wise men journey from the east

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

A shepherd on the hillside, went over my flock I bide

On 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 new born King

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

I saw it with my own eyes, written up in the skies

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

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

Be tonight, be tonight

Be tonight, be tonight

Be tonight, be tonight
