Words by William Harold Neidlinger, 1890Tune: NEIDLINGER by William Harold Neidlinger, 1890Key signature: A flat major (4 flats)Public Domain1. 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.Refrain: 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.2. ‘Twas a humble birthplace, but O how much God gave to us that day, From the manger bed what a path has led, What a perfect, holy way.The Birthday of a KingWords byWilliam Harold HeidlingerKey signature: A flat major (4 flats)Meter:Public DomainThe Birthday of a KingsongThe_Birthday_Of_A_King.htmlhttps://www.mobilehymns.org/english/The_Birthday_Of_A_King.html
