Many years ago a child was born
Many years ago the story was foretold
That Jesus Christ was born
Just to die on the cross
Oh to save man from sin
Oh praise His holy name,Yes
Angels they rejoice
At the Saviour's birth
Singing loud hosanna
To the blessed Lord and King
Chorus
Oh let us shout for joy
He lives forever
And that is why we have
A christmas, a christmas day
Profits they foretold Him
So long, so long ago
Wisemen oh they journeyed
Oh yes they journeyed from afar
They followed the star
Where my Jesus was laid
And they worshipped Him
Oh they offered gifts they bring, yeah
Glory in the highest
The angels sang
Peace on earth goodwill
Goodwill toward men
