In the darkness of the winter br in the evening of the day br Bethlehem was full of wonder br tears of truth you heard them say br in a manger in a stable br at the feet where Mary lay br choirs of Angels started singing br Christ lives on, it's christmas day br br Wise men cried he is the saviour br stars were shining clear and bright br heralds spread the birth of Jesus br people came from far and wide br gifts of joy the people praised him br tears of grace you heard them pray br Angels singing in the heavens br Christ lives on, it's christmas day br br Hallelujah bells are ringing br hallelujah it's today br we'll rejoice in all the pleasure br as he washed our sins away br we'll take love and understanding br faith and hope and charity br tell the children of the future br Christ lives on, it's christmas day.br br Charles M.
