Christmas Must Be Tonight

Come down to the manger, see the little stranger
 Wrapped in swaddling clothes, the prince of peace
 Wheels start turning, torches start burning
 From all the wise men who journey from the east
 How a little baby boy brought the people so much joy
 Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
 This must be Christmas, must be tonight
 A shepherd on the hillside, over my flock I bide
 On a cold winter night, a band of angels sing
 In a dream I heard a voice say, "Fear not, come rejoice
 It's the end of the beginning, just praise the new born King"
 How a little baby boy brought the people so much joy
 Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
 This must be Christmas, must be tonight
 I saw it with my own eyes, written up in the skies
 But why a simple herdsman such as I
 And then it came to pass, he was born at last
 Right below the star that shines on high
 How that little baby boy brought the people so much joy
 Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
 This must be Christmas, must be tonight
 This must be Christmas, must be tonight
