lyrics
A star shined down on Bethlehem on a cool December night
Like a beacon shown for miles around one could not miss its light
Mary’s arms held a gift that would someday pay a heavy price
A precious child sent from up above His aura shined so bright
Gathered ‘round His manger stood all forms of life that solemn night
To view this child named Jesus in swaddling cloths wrapped so tight
Shepherds and beasts, Angels and Kings all to view this holy sight
The miracle of all miracles was witnessed there that night
Let us keep living in the light of the manger,
For this child was so much more than a stranger
Hark, let the angels sing, About the birth of our newborn King
Let us, never forget this wondrous miracle,
He was born so we could all be born again
How blessed is this very morning,
Let the Christmas bells keep on ringing
A child whose life was so planned, soon grew to be a righteous man
He’d travel ‘round, healing with His words, and just the touch of His hand
Prince of Peace, a title so grand helping all reach the golden strand
Pushed by His unseen hand He’ll guide us home to the Promise land
Let us keep living in the light of the manger,
For this child was so much more than a stranger
Hark, let the angels sing, About the birth of our newborn King
Let us, never forget this wondrous miracle,
He was born so we could all be born again
How blessed is this very morning,
Let the Christmas bells keep on ringing
Is it really me who was worth all that it cost?
To save a sinner's soul from becoming so lost
Let us keep living in the light of the manger,
For this child was so much more than a stranger
Hark, let the angels sing, About the birth of our newborn King
Let us, never forget this wondrous miracle,
He was born so we could all be born again
How blessed is this very morning,
Let the Christmas bells keep on ringing
Let us keep living in the light of the manger,
For this child was so much more than a stranger
Hark, let the angels sing, About the birth of our newborn King
Let us, never forget this wondrous miracle,
He was born so we could all be born again
How blessed is this very morning,
Let the Christmas bells keep on ringing
A star shined down on Bethlehem no one could miss its light
For a beacon of hope, for our spirits to grow,
Living in the light of the manger
