G 
The night before Christmas 
  C          G 
A couple was travelin 
  C        G                      Em 
A baby was coming before the next day 
                G 
They slept in a stable 
     C       G 
With animals around them 
    C           G 
The Messiah was born 
            Em 
In a lonely barn 
     D         G 
In a manger of hay 
 
                 D 
The night before Christmas 
              G 
The world had no Saviour 
   C        G 
No hope for redemption 
                  D 
To save them from wrong 
 
God sent down His promise 
            G           
The baby King Jesus 
  C          G                     Em   
Savation had come for God gave His son 
     D         G 
That Bethlehem dawn 
 
G 
The night before Christmas 
  C        G 
A new star shining 
C             G                 
Guiding three Wisemen from the east 
               Em 
In search of a King 
G 
It moved through the Heavens 
        C       G 
To that city of David 
   C        G                  Em 
It shines today to show us the way  
   D          G 
To Christ the King
