In the little village of Bethlehem


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.

Refrain

Alleluia! Oh, how the angels sang.
Alleluia! How it rang!
And the sky was bright with a holy light,
'Twas the birthday of a King.

'Twas a humble birth-place,
but oh, how much God gave us that day;
From the manger bed what a path has led,
What a perfect, holy way.

Refrain
