Once upon a Christmas
In a manger far away
A King was born
His palace was
A manger filled with hay
His royal robe
Was swaddling cloth
A halo was His crown
Once upon a Christmas
Away in Bethlehem

And all the world rejoiced
Because the King was born at last
A savior had been promised
Now it had come to pass
And the joyful news
That He was born
Spread quickly far and wide
Once upon a Christmas
Was the birth of Jesus Christ

Once upon a Christmas
From the Far East wise men came
With gold
And myrrh
And frankincense
To praise the newborn King
And shepherds left their flocks
And came to see and worship Him
Once upon a Christmas away in Bethlehem

And all the world rejoiced
Because the King was born at last
A savior had been promised
Now it had come to pass
And the joyful news
That He was born
Spread quickly far and wide
Once upon a Christmas
Was the birth of Jesus Christ

Once upon a Christmas far away in Bethlehem
