Lyrics

Once upon a Christmas, far away in Bethlehem Mary, being great with her child Had no place to lie down So Joseph found a stable, in which Mary had her child Once upon a Christmas, was the birth of Jesus Christ Once upon a Christmas, in a manger far away A King was born, His palace was a manger filled with hay His royal robe was swaddling close, a halo was His crown Once upon a Christmas, far away in Bethlehem And all the world rejoiced because the King was born at last A saviour had been promised Now it had come to pass And the joyfull news that He was born Spread quickly, far and wide Once upon a Christmas, was the birth of Jesus Christ Once upon a Christmas, from the far east wise-men came With gold and myrrh and frank-in-cense To praise the new born King Shepherds left their flocks and came to see and worship Him Once upon a Christmas, far away in Bethlehem And all the world rejoiced because the King was born at last A saviour had been promised Now it had come to pass And the joyfull news that He was born Spread quickly, far and wide Once upon a Christmas, was the birth of Jesus Christ All the world rejoiced because the King was born at last A saviour had been promised Now it had come to pass And the joyfull news that He was born Spread quickly, far and wide Once upon a Christmas, was the birth of Jesus Christ All the world rejoiced because the King was born at last A saviour had been promised Now it had come to pass And the joyfull news that He was born Spread quickly, far and wide Once upon a Christmas, was the birth of Jesus Christ Once upon a Christmas, far away in Bethlehem
