Lyrics:

Jesus, Jesus oh what a wonderful child
Jesus, Jesus so holy, meek, and mild
New life and hope to he brings

Listen to the angels sing glory, glory glory to the new born king
Jesus, Jesus oh what a wonderful child
Jesus, Jesus so holy, meek, and mild
New life and hope to he brings
Listen to the angels sing glory, glory glory to the new born king

He was herald by the angels, born in a lonely manger
Virgin Mary was chosen as his mother
And Joseph as his earthly father
The wise men traveled from afar, they were guided by the shining star
Just to see King Jesus where he lay, in a manger filled with hay

Jesus, Jesus, oh what a wonderful child
Jesus, Jesus, so holy, meek and mild
New life, new hope, to all He brings
Listen to the angels sing
Glory, glory, glory to the newborn King
