Lyrics

Once Upon A Christmas/ O Come, O Come Emmanuel

(Verse)
Once upon a Christmas in a manger far away
A King was born whose palace was a manger filled with hay
His royal robe was swaddling cloth,
a halo was His crown
Once upon a Christmas
away in Bethlehem

(Chorus)
And 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

(Verse)
O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here,
Until the Son of God appear.

(Chorus)
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

(Chorus)
And 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

(Chorus)
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
