Christ's Birth in Humble Circumstances
Song #15 "The Birthday of a King"
This is a song I'd never heard until finding it in a Christmas songbook while looking for songs for my 1st nativity festival. I looked up a few recordings and was disappointed to only hear it with male soloists. Personally I think it sounds better with a higher voice.

In the little village of Bethlehem,there lay a Child one day. And the sky was bright with a holy light o'er the place where Jesus lay.
Alleluia! O how the angels sang. Alleluia! How it rang! And the sky was bright with a holy light, 'Twas the birthday of a King.
'Twas a humble birth-place, but oh how much God gave to us that day. From the manger bed what a path has led! What a perfect, holy way.
