Birthday of a King

An old melodious hymn, the origins of 'Birthday of a King' is not known. However, its cheery tune makes it a popular number on Christmas.

In the little village of Bethlehem,
There lay a child one day,
And the sky was bright,
With a holy light,
O'er the place where Jesus lay.

Alleluia! 
O how the angels sang! 
Alleluia!
How it rang!
And the sky was bright,
With a holy light,
'Twas the birthday of a King.

Humble birthplace, 
But O!
How much God gave to us that day!
From the manger bed what a path has led,
What a perfect holy way.

Alleluia! 
O how the angels sang! 
Alleluia!
How it rang!
And the sky was bright,
With a Holy light,
'Twas the birthday of a King.
