It was a cold And dark December night But a star Still lit the sky Away in a manger You heard a baby cry It was the cry Of the Son of God A little baby boy Born in that manger To bring the world joy So hush up little baby You know not what you'll do You'll bring the world Peace and love And teach them while you do You have nothing To fear because you know God is with you all the way That little important baby Born on Christmas day Many people soon gathered Round that tiny run down barn They knew not of what they saw Then came three all dressed In fancy robes Silks and furs This was the first indication Of the importance of his birth So hush up little baby You know not what you'll do You'll bring the world Peace and love And teach them while you do You have nothing To fear because you know That God will lead the way That little important baby Born on Christmas day We expected a soldier Tto save us from our plight All dressed in shiny armor Ready for a fight But instead he sent A little baby boy All filled With love happiness To bring the world joy So hush up little baby You know not what you'll do You'll bring the world Peace and love And teach them while you do You have nothing to fear Because you know That God will lead the way That little important baby Born on Christmas day That little important baby Born on Christmas day
