Born On The First Christmas Day

(album: I Love Christmas - 2008)

Oh, what a beautiful baby;
Sent to show us the way.
Bringing the world his heavenly light;
Born on the first Christmas day.

On a cold winter's night in Bethlehem,
Born is a Savior.
And because there was no room for him,
He lay in a manger.
Sing with joy! (Sing with joy!)
Sing with joy! (Sing with joy!)
The long night is over!
Lift your voice! (Lift your voice!)
And rejoice! (And rejoice!)
The weight is off our shoulders!

The world with a dark and dreary past
Lay in pieces.
But the light of the world is here at last.
His name shall be Jesus.
Sing with joy! (Sing with joy!)
Sing with joy! (Sing with joy!)
The long night is over!
Lift your voice! (Lift your voice!)
And rejoice! (And rejoice!)
The weight is off our shoulders! (The weight is off our shoulders!)

Down through the years that holy night
Became the Christmas story.
How one small child and the hand of God
Brought the whole world glory.
Sing with joy! (Sing with joy!)
Sing with joy! (Sing with joy!)
The long night is over!
Lift your voice! (Lift your voice!)
And rejoice! (And rejoice!)
The weight is off our shoulders!

Oh, what a beautiful baby;
Sent to show us the way.
Bringing the world his heavenly light;
Born on the first Christmas day.
Oh, what a beautiful baby
Born on the first Christmas day.
