The greatest story ever told is told on Christmas Day of Two who'd come to Bethlehem, they'd come a long, long way Weary, tired, Dusty worn they knocked on every inn, There was a baby to be born a new life to begin And it's a great day in Bethlehem, Great day in Bethlehem, Great day in Bethlehem, In a stable at the back of the inn Now after looking high and low around the crowded town, The only place where they could Rest, where they could both lie down, Was in a barn with the animals, With the goats, and the cows and the sheep, That's where the two could make their Bed, that's where the two could sleep . And it's a great day in Bethlehem Great day in bethlehem Great day in Bethlehem In a stable at the back of the inn So late that night their son was born, a son who was to be, The way for men to find the truth, a light for them to see . Angels cried o glory be, hosanna let us sing True peace on earth, goodwill to men . Today is born a king. And it's a great day in Bethlehem Great day in Bethlehem Great day in Bethlehem Great day in Bethlehem In a stable at the back of the inn
