1.

It was time, it was time, for a new rebirth; the world lay in disharmony.
  G                                                                     C             G
From the East, from the east, there came a star;
                Am                                   D7                       G
And the world would never be the same again.
                   C                                                              G

Chorus

For the Christ was born that night, in the beauty of the Holy light,
                    Am                 D7                                 G
From the spirit that guides us all home again.
                 C                                                                 G
For the Christ came to earth that night, to help make everything all right;
        Am                              D7                 G
He came to guide us all home again.

2.

And they came, and they came, from far and wide,
The shepherds and wise men to see:
To see a child, to see a child, as in a manger he lay,
And bring him gifts of love that wondrous day.

Chorus

 And the bells began to ring, and the angels began to sing,
Of glory halle-lu-jah.
For the Christ was born that night, in the beauty of the Holy light,
A gift to all the world on Christmas day.
A gift to all the world on Christmas day.
