"Christmas Must Be Tonight" lyrics

Come down to the manger
See the little stranger
Wrapped in swaddlin', oh, the prince of peace
Wheels start turnin'
Torches start burnin'
And the old wise men journey from the East

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

Shepherd on a hillside
Well, over my flock I bide
On a cold winter night, a band of angels sing
In a dream, I heard a voice
Singing, "Fear not, come rejoice!
It's the end of the beginning, praise the new born king!"

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

Saw it with my own eyes
Written up in the sky
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
Bring the people so much joy
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
This must be Christmas, must be tonight

Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
This must be Christmas, must be tonight
Must be tonight, must be tonight (tonight)
