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       Chorus    Halleluia, oh how the angels sang    Halleluia, how it rang    And the sky was bright with God’s holy light    It was the birthday of the king       It was a humble birthplace but oh how much    God gave to us that day    From the manger bed what a path was led    What a perfect, holy way       Chorus       Hark! The herald angels sing    Glory to the newborn King    Peace on earth and mercy mild    God and sinners reconciled    Joyful all ye nations rise    Join the triumph of the skies    With angelic voice proclaim    Christ is born on Bethlehem    Hark! The herald angels sing    Glory to the newborn King       Chorus
