Even a child knows

In a coach of gold

In the beautiful city

And the crowds make way
G A D

in the morning sun

summer strawberries and milk
A E
And sleep upon bedclothes

of satin and silk

And high on a hill

A E
On a star-filled night

into Bethlehem
A E
Rode a weary woman
B E
and a worried man
A E
And the only sound
B E
in the cobblestone street
A E
Was the shuffle and the ring
B E
of their donkey's feet
A B E
And a King lay hid
A E
in a virgin's womb
A E
And there were no crowds
G#7 C#m
to see Him come
A E
At last in a barn
G#7 C#m A
in a manger of ha---y
E A B E
He came and God incarnate lay
[Ending]

Glory glory to God

Earth was silent so heaven rang
A E
Glory glory to God
D A E A
Men were silent so the angels sang
A E
Glory glory to God

Peace on earth

Good will to men

Glory glory to God

Christ is born in Bethlehem
A D E
Glory to Go-d

Glory in the highest
