While shepherds watch their flocks by night, 
           D                  G 
they see a bright new shining star. 
                  C      Am 
They hear a choir sing a song,  
          G         D          G

Now Joseph and his wife, Mary, came to Bethlehem that night. 
G                      C        Am 
They found no place to bear the child,

not a single room was in sight.

G                     C      Am         D             G 
And then they found a little nook, in a stable all forlorn. 
G                C        Am           G      D       G 
And in a manger, cold and dark, Mary`s little boy was born.

that man will live forever more because of Christmas Day.
