Christmas Must Be Tonight

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
