BIRTHDAY OF A KING 


W. H. Neidlinger 1890 
GCD7 G D7 G 

In the little village of Bethlehem, there lay a child one day 

A Em AD GA D 

And the sky was bright with a holy light, o'er the place where Jesus lay

 D7 G Em A7D 

Alleluia, O how the angels sang, alleluia, how it rang

 B7 Em D7 GCG D7 G 

And the sky was bright with a holy light, 'twas the birthday of a king

 C D7 G D7 G 

'Twas a humble birthplace, but oh how much God gave to us that day 

A Em A D GA D 

From the manger bed, what a path has led, what a perfect holy way

 D7 G Em A7D 

Alleluia, O how the angels sang, alleluia, how it rang

 B7 Em D7 GCG D7 G 

And the sky was bright with a holy light, 'twas the birthday of a king
