Hallelujah, Christ is Born

A Seed, A Sunrise: Advent to Christmas Songs

Nov 20

Lyrics

Verse 1:
In a tiny town, in the dark of night
From a run-down stable, came a baby’s cry
He was wrapped in rags
And his parents were poor
But the baby in the manger was Christ the Lord

Verse 2:
Ragged shepherds were watching their sheep that night
When the angel chorus filled the sky with light “Good news, great joy to this broken land
For the baby in the manger is Christ the Lamb”

Chorus:
Hallelujah, Christ is born!
Hallelujah, the Savior of the world
This is the one we’ve waited for!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Christ is born
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Christ is born

Verse 3:
See the wise men journey
From those countries far
Over deserts and mountains,
Followin’ that star
And they gave him their gifts
And bowed on their knees
For the baby in the manger was Christ the King

Chorus 2x

Verse 4:
Come and bow in wonder and prepare him room
Come and sing with joy
Over God’s good news
Go tell it on the mountain
And in countries far
That the baby in the manger is the King of our hearts
