Once upon a 
Christmas far away in 
BethlehemMary being great with child had no place to lie down
So Joseph found a stable in which 
Mary had her child
Once upon a 
Christmas was the birth of 
Jesus Christ
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 crownOnce upon a 
Christmas away in 
BethlehemAnd 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 
KingAnd shepherds left their flocks and came to see and worship 
HimOnce upon a 
Christmas away in 
BethlehemAnd 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
