Christmas Must Be Tonight


Image from here.


Come down to the manger, see the little strangerWrapped in swaddling clothes, the prince of peaceThe wheels start turning, torches start burningAnd the whole wise men journey from the east
How a little baby boy bring the people so much joySon of a carpenter, Mary carried the lightThis must be Christmas, must be tonight
A shepherd on the hillside, went over my flock I bideOn a cold winter night, a band of Angels singIn a dream I heard a voice say, "Fear not, come rejoiceIt's the end of the beginning, praise the new born King"
How a little baby boy bring the people so much joySon of a carpenter, Mary carried the lightThis must be Christmas, must be tonight
I saw it with my own eyes, written up in the skiesBut why a simple herdsmen such as IAnd then it came to pass, he was born at lastRight below the star that shines on high
How a little baby boy bring the people so much joySon of a carpenter, Mary carried the lightThis must be Christmas, must be tonight
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the lightThis must be Christmas, must be tonight
Be tonight, be tonightBe tonight, be tonightBe tonight, be tonight

-Christmas Must Be Tonight, The Band


**While this isn't the original version (I recommend you listen to it too!), it's the version that introduced me to the song. MMJ is in my top 5 favorite bands and this is a gorgeous rendition.
