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 swaddling 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 savior 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 savior 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
And all the world rejoiced
Because the King was born at last
A savior 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 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 swaddling cloth a halo was His crown
