Verse 1

 Come down to the manger, see the little stranger

Wrapped in swaddling, oh the prince of peace

 the Wheels start turning, torches start burning

 And the old wise men journey from the East

Chorus

 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

G---Em

Verse 2

 A shepherd on a hillside, where over my flock I bide

 On a cold winter night a band of angels sing

 In a dream I heard a voice saying "fear not, come rejoice

 It's the end of the beginning, praise the new born king"

(Repeat Chorus)

G---Em

Verse 3

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

 But 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

(Repeat Chorus)

G---Em

Refrain

 Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light

 This must be Christmas, must be tonight

 Be tonight, be tonight, be tonight, be tonight
