Two travellers came one starry night
to stay in Bethlehem
"No room! no room!" came back the cry
"There's no room at the inn"
So in a manger soon there lay
a baby newly born
A child who was both gift and God
Come to save us all
Chorus:
Christ the King - born on this day
God amongst us now!
Christ the King - born on this day
The Saviour of the world
Angels sang in glorious praise
to shepherds in the fields
"Helleluia, halleluia!
The Christ is born this day"
A single star shining bright
a beacon in the sky
that all who live on earth shall know
that Jesus Christ is here!
