Words and music by William Harold Neidlinger [Verse]
G      C      D7            G        Em7
In the little vil - lage of Bethle - hem,

      Am    D         G
There lay a Child one day,

        Em                    A       D
And the sky was bright with a ho – ly light

                     A7    D
O'er the place where Jesus lay.
[Chorus]
          Am         D7
Al - le – lu - ia!

            G
Oh, how the angels sang.

          Em       A7     D
Al - le – lu - ia! How it rang!

        B7      Em            D    G
And the sky was bright with a holy light,

                   D7   G
'Twas the birthday of a King.
[Verse]
G       C      D7              G       Em7
'Twas a humble birthplace, but oh, how much

    Am      D       G
God gave to us that day;

         Em                   A        D
From the man - ger bed what a path has led,

                   A7   D
What a per - fect, holy way.
[Chorus]
          Am         D7
Al - le – lu - ia!

            G
Oh, how the angels sang.

          Em       A7     D
Al - le – lu - ia! How it rang!

        B7      Em            D    G
And the sky was bright with a holy light,

                   D7   G
'Twas the birthday of a King.
