Christmas day brings lots of cheer br To the children every year br And so grown-up folks as well br All the great glad tidings tell. br br Our dear Lord was born this day br In a manger far away br With no pillow for his head br And no blanket for his bed. br br Let us thank our Lord above br For his kindness and his love br And be thankful that we are br Born of Him our "Guiding Star" br .
