Joseph was tired, they'd been traveling all day
D MajorD       A augmentedA         D MajorD           E MajorE
It was almost midnight before he found a place to stay

A augmentedA          D MajorD        E MajorE           A augmentedA
He put the burro in the stall, then knelt beside his wife
  D MajorD         A augmentedA         E MajorE       A augmentedA
To comfort her as she went through, the pain of giving life

D MajorD     E MajorE        A augmentedA        D MajorD
Up above a star was shining brightly in the sky

Joseph held the baby child and showed him to his wife

Merry Christmas, Mar- y, the son of God has come to us to- day"

A augmentedA          D MajorD       E MajorE          A augmentedA
There was someone at the door, and Joseph turned to see
   D MajorD        A augmentedA      D MajorD          E MajorE E/B
Some plain and simple shepherd men down on bended knee

A augmentedA          D MajorD     E MajorE            A augmentedA
They talked about an angel who told them where to come
    D MajorD       A augmentedA       E MajorE     A augmentedA
In the middle of the night to see, God's only son

Pre Chorus:
   D MajorD        E MajorE        A augmentedA        D MajorD
Then later there came wise men bearing gifts and offer- ins
D MajorD          A augmentedA       C majorC          D MajorD
And Joseph led them all to see and praise the new born king

Praise the new born king

Tears of joy were gently flowing out of Joseph's eyes
C majorC         G+G       C majorC    E minorEm  D MajorD
While up above the angels sang, " Glory to God!"
