Christmas Must Be Tonight

Come down to the manger, see the little stranger Wrapped in swaddling, glows the Prince of Peace Wheels start turning, torches start burning And the old 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, where over my flock I bide On a cold winter night, a band of angels sing In a dream I heard a voice saying "Fear not, come rejoice It's the end of the beginning, praise the new born 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 herdsman 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 --- Christmas Must Be Tonight - Paul Kelly
