THE BIRTHDAY OF A KING
"I will raise up...a King Who will reign wisely." Jeremiah 23:5
Words & Music: William Harold Neidlinger (1863-1924).
In the little village of Bethlehem,
There lay a Child one day;
And the sky was bright with a holy light
Over the place where Jesus lay.
Refrain
Alleluia! O how the angels sang.
Alleluia! How it rang!
And the sky was bright with a holy light
'Twas the birthday of a King.
'Twas a humble birthplace, but O how much
God gave to us that day,
From the manger bed what a path has led,
What a perfect, holy way.
Refrain
