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. | ||
