Christmas Must Be Tonight

CHRISTMAS MUST BE TONIGHT- The Band

 

Come down to the manger, see the little stranger

Wrapped in swaddling clothes, the prince of peace

Wheels start turning, torches start burning

And the old wise men journey from the East

How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy

Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light

This must be Christmas, must be tonight

A shepherd on a hillside, while over my flock I bide

Oh a cold winter night a band of angels sing

In a dream I heard a voice saying "fear not, come rejoice

It's the end of the beginning, praise the new born king"

I saw it with my own eyes, written up in the skies

But why a simple herdsmen such as I

And then it came to pass, he was born at last

Right below the star that shines on high

(from Islands, 1977)
