Intro: DDGAD
I was awakened on a Christmas night
DGA
Somebody shaking me and shining a light
BmF#mBmF#m
“Wake up the winter is here
GDEmAA7
And snow is falling on the ground”
DGAD
Out of the window ‘twas a magic sight
DGA
And for a little boy it was a magic night
BmF#mBmF#m
My friends were playing outside
GDEmAA7
And snow was tumbling on the ground
AA7D
And we saw a thousand candles in the night
AA7D
Moving to the church upon the hill
AA7D
When the people saw us they said “come inside”
AA7DD7
And the song that night they sing it still
GCDB7Em
We are here to celebrate the birth of a child
CGD
Who came to the world
GCDB7Em
We are here to celebrate the life of a child
CGD
Who came to the world
GCDB7Em
We are here to celebrate the birth of a child
CGD
Who came to the world
GCDB7Em
We are here to celebrate the life of a child
CGD
Who came to the world on this night
GCDB7Em
We are here to celebrate the birth of a child
CGD
Who came to the world
GCDB7Em
We are here to celebrate the life of a child
CGD
Who came to the world, to the world
GCDB7Em
We are here to celebrate the birth of a child
CGD
Who came to the world

We are here to celebrate the life of a child
CGD
Who gave to the world
