Time to gather 'round the tree
The special day is finally here
Exchanging gifts with friends and family    
Loved ones have come from far and near
Oh it's a joyous occasion
With the ones we hold so dear
But in all this excitement
Let us not forget the reason we are here

CHORUS:
Celebrate the birth of our savior
Celebrate the birth of a king
Praise the Lord of all
and share His love with everyone
And all the joy that Christmas time does bring


Come see the boy in Bethlehem
Let the shining star be your guide
Bring Him gifts and lay them at His feet 
People come from far and wide 
Oh it's a joyous occasion In a manger in the hay 
There's a baby named Jesus 
Who was sent to light the way

BRIDGE:
God sent His son to show us
Hope and peace and cheer
May the spirit of the season
Last throughout the year

CHORUS:
