[Em] [G]
[Em]
[G] [Em] Come down [G] to the manger, see the [Am] little stranger,
[D] wrapped in swaddling, [C] loathed the [G] prince of peace.
[C] The wheels [G] start turning, torches [Am] start burning, and [D] behold wise men journey [C] from [G] the east.
Our [Em] little baby [Am] boy, bring the [D] people so [G] much joy.
[G] Son of [Am] a carpenter, [C] merry, merry [Am] goodnight, [C] this must be Christmas, must [G] be tonight.
[Em] A shepherd on the hillside, [G] where over [Am] my flock I abide.
On [D] a cold winter night, a band of angels [G] sing.
In a dream I heard a voice, say, fear [Am] not, come rejoice.
[D] It's the end of the beginning, praise the newborn [G] king.
[Em] Our little [Am] baby boy, bring [D] the people [G] so much joy.
Son [Am] of a carpenter, [C]
merry, merry [Am] goodnight,
[C] this must be Christmas, must [G] be tonight.
[Em] Sought with my own eyes, written [Am] up in the sky,
[D] by a simple [A] herdsman such [G] as I.
Death then came to pass, he was [Am] born at last.
[D] Right below the star [A] that shines [G] on high.
[Em] Our little [Am] baby boy, [D] bring the people [G] so much joy.
Son [Am] of a carpenter, [C] merry, merry goodnight, [C] this must [Am] be Christmas, must be [G] tonight.
[Em]
[G]
[Em] Son of [Am] a carpenter,

[Em] Be [G] tonight.
Be tonight.
