A Child Is Born lyrics

As I was walkin'; down the road to Bethlehem one night
I looked up to the sky and there I saw a wondrous sight
A star was shining brighter than I';d ever seen before
And a host of angels sang to me, never heard a song so pure
They said don';t be afraid, we bring good news to all the world
With great tidings of joy for every boy and every girl

[chorus]
A child is born
On this holy night
And all the angels sing of the joy he brings with a star so bright
So come to see
Mary';s sweet baby
And let our praises ring to the newborn king while he sleeps so peacefully
So peacefully
Oh yeah

As I went down into the town to see what I could see
Three mighty kings with golden rings came ridin'; up to me
They said they seek the child who was born beneath the star
Of all the kings this one would be the mightiest by far
So wake up everybody, ';cause the blessed day has come
And ring the bell so we can tell the news to everyone

[chorus]
A child is born
On this holy night
And all the angels sing of the joy he brings with a star so bright
So come to see
Mary';s sweet baby
And let our praises ring to the newborn king while he sleeps so peacefully
So peacefully
Hallelujah (repeated)

So wake up everybody, ';cause the blessed day has come
And ring the bell so we can tell the news to everyone

[chorus]
A child is born
On this holy night
And all the angels sing of the joy he brings with a star so bright
So come to see
Mary';s sweet baby
And let our praises ring to the newborn king while he sleeps so peacefully
So peacefully
Oh yeah
