Early on one Christmas morn, Jesus Christ the Son was born
Singing carols, Christmas songs, early on one Christmas morn
Early on one Christmas morn, Jesus Christ the Son was born
Singing carols, Christmas songs, Jesus Christ the Son was born
Three Wise men saw the star at night, star that lit up the heavens so bright
Star it led where Christ was born, Early on one Christmas morn
In that city of Bethlehem, Wise men brought Him jewels and gems
Born in a manger humble and low, that is a-why we love Him so
Mary was His mother calm, who held Him gently in her arms
All hail and praise to Him, peace on Earth, a-good will to men
