[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
In a [G]land so far away, [D]so [G]long ago,|lived a boy with his parents, meek [D]and [G]low.|By miraculous birth, he [C]came to this [D]Earth,|the saviour of this wicked world [G]of woe.||Now his mother was a pure an[D]d s[G]hining dove,|and Joseph showed the boy his t[D]ender l[G]ove.|For an angel of light, h[C]ad apperaed on t[D]hat night,|proclaiming him the son of G[G]od above.||Now the first of many wond[D]ers t[G]o behold,|was when Mary couldn't find her twelve y[D]ear old.|In the temp[G]le he was found, teaching w[C]ise men all around,|as they marv[D]elled at the wisdom that he told.||Now at thirty, as h[G]e went to be baptised,|the mighty voice of God came from the skies. |'That's my son upon his knees, in whom I am well pleased',|then John the Baptist bid the man to rise.||Soon the people from both near and f[D]ar a[G]way,|came to hear the precious words he had to s[D]ay.|And when thousand[G]s wanted food,
he [C]fed the multitude,|with five [D]loaves and seven fishes on [G]that day.||Now he brought the dead [D]to life [G]in Galilee,|where the deaf could hear, and all the blind [D]could [G]see.|And when all the dumb could talk, he [C]taught the lame to walk,|say[D]ing 'Now pick up your cross and [G]follow me'.||Now it wasn't long be[D]fore [G]the final test,|betrayed by one of twelve he loved [D]the best.|And for [G]thirty pence of gold, the Son [C]of God was sold, [D]|and upon the the cross they put this man [G]to death.||As he died, he told [D]the world they [G]shouldn't grieve|and he later showed them why they [D]should believe.|For he [G]died to save our sins, and came [C]back to life [D]again,|and we think about him every Christmas [G]Eve.||And we think of [D]Jesus every [C]Christmas Eve.|
