¶Lyrics / Text

Rolling back the years a few thousand You can see the lights in the inn. Hospitality not a strong point Joseph's patience now wearing thin. Taking Mary into the stable Clears a space that’s animal free. Not a royal start for a Great King, But the rest is now history Angels in the heavens sang a song of joy. Telling us to worship Mary's new born baby boy. Then the shepherds came to the stable Doing what the angels had said. And the wise men led by the starlight Gave their gifts to lay round his bed. Angels in the heavens sang a song of joy. Telling us to worship Mary's new born baby boy. Won’t you come to praise our redeemer Lying in a manger of hay. First to pay respects were the shepherds But roling on the years a few thousand You can be the latest today.
