Christmas Must Be Tonight

[Verse 1]
Come down to the manger, see the little stranger
Wrapped and swaddled, oh, the prince of peace
The wheels start turning, torches start burning
The holy wise men who journeyed from the east

[Chorus]
How a little baby boy
Brought the people so much joy
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
This must be Christmas, must be tonight

[Verse 2]
A shepherd on the hillside, over my flock I bide
On a cold winter night, a band of angels sing
And in a dream I heard a voice, said, "Fear not, come rejoice
It's the end of the beginning, just praise the new born King"

[Chorus]
How a little baby boy
Brought the people so much joy
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
This must be Christmas, must be tonight

[Verse 3]
Saw it with my own eyes, written up in the skies
But why a simple herdsmen such as I
And it came to pass, he was born at last
Right below the star that shines on high

[Chorus]
How that little baby boy
Brought the people so much joy
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
This must be Christmas, must be tonight

[Outro]
This must be Christmas, must be tonight
