It was a dark starry night That made the world see the light Three wise men followed the star The angels led them to a newborn child When they saw him love filled the air It was a cold December night A father, a mother, and a child Love was born on Christmas day Love was born on Christmas day Sleeping in a manger Was the world's only Saviour Humble beginnings of love We're given and shown to the world Love was born on Christmas day Frankincense, Myrth and gold We're the first gifts of love Given to a poor child by kings A shepherd and his lambs Gathered around to see a miracle On a peaceful night, angels sang and prayed Picture of love on a cold December night A father, a mother, and a child Love was born on Christmas day Love was born on Christmas day Sleeping in a manger Was the world only Saviour Humble beginnings of love We're given and shown to the world Love was born on Christmas day
