Ha la la la la la la la le Ha la la la la la le lua |
Ha la la la la la la la le Ha la la la la la le lua |
Ha la la la la la la la le Ha la la la la la le lua |
Ha la la la la la la la le Ha la la la la la le lua |
When I was afar one winters day I took my TV neath the tree |
A fire to keep the cold away and a pint for hungers yearning |
When A boy appeared up yonder road a most peculiar sight to see |
He danced and he sang and he clapped his hands with a story of good tidings |
Come and sit besides the fire I called to this young man |
What could bring such joyfulness I could not understand |
He smile outshone the fire and he looked me in the eye |
And he danced and sang and he clapped his hands and gave me this reply |
He sang… |
Ha la la la la la la la le Ha la la la la la le lua |
Ha la la la la la la la le Ha la la la la la le lua |
Ha la la la la la la la le Ha la la la la la le lua |
Ha la la la la la la la le Ha la la la la la le lua |
I sat beneath the sky that night beyond imagination |
And from the sky a star of light directed destination |
In all my curiosity I followed without waiting |
Shepherds I met on the way were standing dumbly quaking |
Then we heard a message and there seemed some glorious things |
An angel has appeared to us so bright with golden wings |
A story of a baby who on this night is born |
A king of all the kingdoms our shelter from all storms |
They sang… |
Ha la la la la la la la le Ha la la la la la le lua |
Ha la la la la la la la le Ha la la la la la le lua |
Ha la la la la la la la le Ha la la la la la le lua |
Ha la la la la la la la le Ha la la la la la le lua |
When I arrived in Bethlehem the star was brightly shining |
Into a manger I could see a mother and her child |
Three men of stately origin with precious gifts were bearing |
They knelt before the new born king in a holy light I saw |
A kingdom for the loving he has come to lead us to |
The son of man is living now can you feel it too |
I scarcely can believe my ears the joy is in my heart |
For god has heard his peoples needs and gave a brand new start |
They sang… |
Ha la la la la la la la le Ha la la la la la le lua |
Ha la la la la la la la le Ha la la la la la le lua |
Ha la la la la la la la le Ha la la la la la le lua |
Ha la la la la la la la le Ha la la la la la le lua |
Ha la la la la la la la le Ha la la la la la le lua |
Ha la la la la la la la le Ha la la la la la le lua |
