                Birthday Of A King
            William Neidlinger, 1890







In the little village of Bethlehem, 
   there lay a Child one day;
And the sky was bright with a holy light 
   oer the place where Jesus lay.
Hallelujah! O how the angels sang. 
   Hallelujah! How it rang!
And the sky was bright with a holy light, 
   twas the birthday of a King.





Twas a humble birthplace, but O how much 
   God gave to us that day,
From the manger bed, what a path has led, 
   what a perfect, holy way.
Hallelujah! O how the angels sang. 
   Hallelujah! How it rang!
And the sky was bright with a holy light, 
   twas the birthday of a King.
