Author: Anna H. Munson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13246 First Line: In the town of Bethl’em, one starry night Refrain First Line: ’Tis the birthday of the King Lyrics: 1 In the town of Bethl’em, one starry night,
The Prince of Peace was sent to earth;
With a wondrous glory, a star was shining bright,
Beaming over the manger of His birth.
Refrain:
’Tis the birthday of the King,
’Tis the birthday of the King;
He was sent from Heav’n above,
God’s own precious gift of love,
’Tis the birthday of the King.
2 Shepherds saw with wonder in Heav’n the star,
To Him their gifts the sages bring;
At His feet to worship they journeyed from afar,
Gladly singing hosannas to their king. [Refrain]
3 Angels joined the chorus from out the sky,
Goodwill and peace proclaimed to men;
Let us swell the anthem of voices from on high
As we welcome His birthday once again. [Refrain]
