x2 The night before Christmas A couple was travelin A baby was coming before the next day They slept in a stable With animals around them The Messiah was born In a lonely barn In a manger of hay The night before Christmas The world had no Saviour No hope for redemption To save them from wrong God sent down His promise The baby King Jesus Savation had come for God gave His son That Bethlehem dawn The night before Christmas A new star shining Guiding three Wisemen from the east In search of a King It moved through the Heavens To that city of David It shines today to show us the way To Christ the King (chorus x2)
