In a land so far away, so long ago
Lived a boy with his parents, meek and low
By miraculous birth, he came to this Earth
The savior of this wicked world of woe
Now his mother was a pure and shining dove
And Joseph showed the boy his tender love
For an angel of light had appeared on that night
Proclaiming him the son of God above
Now the first of many wonders to behold
Was when Mary couldn't find her twelve year old
In the temple he was found, teaching wise men all around
As they marveled at the wisdom that he told
Soon the people from both near and far away
Came to hear the precious words he had to say
And when thousands wanted food, he fed the multitude
With five loaves and seven fishes on that day
Now he brought the dead to life in Galilee
Where the deaf could hear and all the blind could see
And when all the dumb could talk, he taught the lame to walk
Saying "Now pick up your cross and follow me."
Now it wasn't long before the final test
Betrayed by one of twelve he loved the best
And for thirty pence we're told, the son of God was sold
And upon the cross they put this man to death
As he died he told the world they should not grieve
And he later showed them why they should believe
For he died to save all sins and came back to life again
And we celebrate his birth each Christmas Eve
We celebrate his birth on Christmas Eve
