The night before Christmas
A couple was traveling
A baby was coming before the next day
They slept in the stable
With animals around them
The Messiah was born
In a lowly barn in a manger of hay

Chorus
The night before Christmas
The world had no Savior
No hope for redemption
To save him from wrong
God sent down His promise
The baby King Jesus
Salvation had come
For God gave His son
That Bethlehem morn

The night before Christmas
A new star was shining
Guiding three wise men from the east
In search of a king
It moved through the heavens
To the city of David
It shines today
To show us the way to Christ the King

Chorus Twice
