Must Be Christmas Tonight

Come down to the manger, see the little stranger 
Wrapped in swaddling clothes, the Prince of Peace 
The wheels start turning, torches start burning 
Behold the wise men journey from the East 

How a little baby boy brings the people so much joy 
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light 
This must be Christmas, must be tonigh

A shepherd on a hillside, while over my flock I bide 
Oh a cold winter night a band of angels sing 
In a dream I heard a voice said "fear not come rejoice, 
It's the end of the beginning, praise the newborn king." 

How a little baby boy brings the people so much joy 
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light 
This must be Christmas, must be tonight 

I saw it with my own eyes, written up in the skies 
But why a simple herdsmen such as I 
And then it came to pass, he was born at last 
Right below the star that shines on high 

How a little baby boy brings the people so much joy 
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light 
This must be Christmas, must be tonight


*This post goes out to my Dad - 
who introduced me to the Band
and to the Prince of Peace.
