Intro: D
D G A D
I was awakened on a Christmas night
D G A
Somebody shaking me and shining a light
Bm F#m Bm F#m
“Wake up the winter is here
G D Em A A7
And snow is falling on the ground”
D G A D
Out of the window ‘twas a magic sight
D G A
And for a little boy it was a magic night
Bm F#m Bm F#m
My friends were playing outside
G D Em A A7
And snow was tumbling on the ground
A A7 D
And we saw a thousand candles in the night
A A7 D
Moving to the church upon the hill
A A7 D
When the people saw us they said “come inside”
A A7 D D7
And the song that night they sing it still
G C D B7 Em

Who came to the world

We are here to celebrate the birth of a child

Who came to the world
G C D B7 Em
We are here to celebrate the life of a child
C G D
Who came to the world on this night
G C D B7 Em
We are here to celebrate the birth of a child
C G D
Who came to the world
G C D B7 Em
We are here to celebrate the life of a child
C G D
Who came to the world, to the world
G C D B7 Em
We are here to celebrate the birth of a child

Who came to the world

His love

I was awakened on a Christmas night…
