[Verse]
 
G      C      D7            G        Em7
In the little vil - lage of Bethle - hem,
      Am    D         G
There lay a Child one day,
        Em                    A       D
And the sky was bright with a ho – ly light
                     A7    D
O'er the place where Jesus lay.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
          Am         D7
Al - le – lu - ia!
            G
Oh, how the angels sang.
          Em       A7     D
Al - le – lu - ia! How it rang!
        B7      Em            D    G
And the sky was bright with a holy light,
                   D7   G
'Twas the birthday of a King.
 
 
[Verse]
 
G       C      D7              G       Em7
'Twas a humble birthplace, but oh, how much
    Am      D       G
God gave to us that day;
         Em                   A        D
From the man - ger bed what a path has led,
                   A7   D
What a per - fect, holy way.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
          Am         D7
Al - le – lu - ia!
            G
Oh, how the angels sang.
          Em       A7     D
Al - le – lu - ia! How it rang!
        B7      Em            D    G
And the sky was bright with a holy light,
