On a Christmas night

In Bethlehem on a Christmas night

All around the Child shone a holy light.

All around His head was a halo bright

On a Christmas night.

"We have no room," the innkeeper called,

So the glory fell where the cows were stalled,

But among the guests were Three Kings who called

On a Christmas night.

How can it be such a light shines here

In this humble stable once cold and drear?

Oh, the Child has come to bring good cheer

On a Christmas night!

And what is the name of the little One?

His name is Jesus -- He's God's own Son.

Be happy, happy, everyone

On a Christmas night!
