Shining in the East beyond them far
And to the earth in gave great light
And so it continued both day and night

And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far
To seek for a King was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went

This star drew nigh to the northwest
O'er Bethlelem it took its rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay

Then entered in those wise men three
Full rev'rently upon their knee
And offered there in his presence
Their gold, and myrrh and frankincense

Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heav'nly Lord
That hath made heav'n and earth of naught
And with his blood mankind hath bought

ONCE IN ROYAL DAVID'S CITY
IntroF C7 F Bb C F F C7 F
F C7 F C F Dm F Bb C F
Once in royal David's city, stood a lowly cattle shed,
where a mother laid her baby in a manger for His bed.
Bb F Csus4 C F Bb F Bb C FMary was that mo - ther mild, Jesus Christ her little child.
F C7 F C F Dm F Bb C F
He came down to earth from heaven, Who is God and Lord of all,
C7 F G7 C7 F Dm F Bb C FAnd His shelter was a stable, and His cradle was a stall;
With the poor and meek and lowly, lived on earth our savior holy.
And through all His wondrous childhood, he would honor and obey,
C7 F G7 C7 F Dm F Bb C FLove and watch the lowly mother, in whose gentle arms He lay.
Bb F Csus4 C F Bb F Bb C FChristian children all should be, mild, obedient, good as He.
F C7 F C F Dm F Bb C F
And our eyes at last shall see Him, through his own redeeming love.
For that child so dear and gentle, is our Lord in heaven above;
Bb F Csus4 C F Bb F Bb C FAnd He leads His children on, to the place where he is gone.
Not in that poor lowly stable, with the oxen standing by,
We shall see Him, but in heaven, set at God's right hand on high;
When like stars His children crowned, all in while shall wait around.
IT CAME UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR
C F C
It came upon a midnight clear
That glorious song of old
C F CFrom angels bending near the earth
F G7 CTo touch their harps of gold
"Peace on the earth, good will to men
G D7 GFrom heaven's all gracious King;"
C F CThe world in solemn stillness lay,
To hear the angels sing
Still through the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfurled,
And still their heavenly music floats
O'er all the weary world
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing;
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
O ye, beneath life's crushing load
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow
Look now! for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
O rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing

The song is in 4/4 time. Almost every note is an 1/8 note. When you see 0^2 it
means play the string open then quickly hammer on at the 2nd fret. It is
called a grace note. The hammer should fall on the beat.

Additional Lyrics
Verse2
Now we're all so proud of grandpa
He's been taking this so well
See him in there watching footbal
drinking beer and playing cards with Cousin Mel
It's not Christmas without Grandma
All the family's dressed in black
and we just can't help but wonder
Should we open up her gifts or send them back.
verse 3.
Now the goose is on the table
and the pudding made of fig
and the blue and silver candles
that would just have matched the hair on grandma's wig
I've warned all my friends and neighbors
better watch out for yourselves
they should never give a license
to a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves.
