Christmas Must Be Tonight

Come down to the major
See the little stranger
Wrapped in swelling clothes
The prince of peas
We’ll start turning
Torches start burning
And an old wise that
Journeyed 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 the night
The shepherd on the hill side
Walked over my flock out by
On then cold when the night
Band of angels sing
In the dream I heard a voice
Said fear not and rejoice
It’s the end of the beginning
Praise the newborn 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 the night
I saw it with my own eyes
It’s written up in the skies
Why a simple herdsman such as I?
And then it came the palace
And 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 the night
This must be Christmas
Must be the night
Must be the night
Be the night
Be the night
Be the night
