The Birthday of a King

The Birthday of a King
words by Will­iam H. Neid­ling­er

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! O 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 birthplace, but O how much
God gave to us that day,
From the manger bed what a path has led,
What a perfect, holy way.
