Lyrics for Song: Christmas Must Be Tonight
Lyrics for Album: Islands [1977]
Come down to the manger, see the little stranger
Wrapped in swaddling clothes, the prince of peace
The wheels start turning, torches start burning
Behold the wise men journey from the East
How a little baby boy brings the people so much joy
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
This must be Christmas, must be tonight
A shepherd on a hillside, while over my flock I bide
Oh a cold winter night a band of angels sing
In a dream I heard a voice said "fear not come rejoice,
It's the end of the beginning, praise the newborn king."
How a little baby boy brings 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 herdsmen such as I
And then it came to pass, he was born at last
Right below the star that shines on high
How a little baby boy brings the people so much joy
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
This must be Christmas, must be tonight
