[G] Hallelulah, la la la la la, le halalala, hallelujah!
[D] [G]
When I was a far one winter's day, I took my [D] tea beneath [G] a tree,
A fire to keep the cold away, and a bite for hunger's yearn.
When a boy appeared up yonder road, a most [D] peculiar sight to [G] see,
He danced and he sang and he clapped his hands for the [D] story of [G] good [D] tidings.
Come [C] and sit beside the fire I call [D] to this young [C] man,
What [G] can bring such joyfulness I could [Bm] not understand.
[C] His smile out [G] shone the fire and he [D] looked me in the [C] eye,
And he danced [G] and he sang and he clapped his hands [D] and he gave [C] me this reply.
[D] He [G] sang,
Hallelulah, la la la la, le halalala, [D] hallelujah!
[G]
[D] [G]
I sat beneath the sky that night beyond [D] [G] imagination,
And from the sky a star of light [D] directed [G] destination.
And all my curiosity I followed [D] without [G] waiting,
Shepherds I met on the way were standing dumbly quaking,
[D] Then [C] we heard a message and there seemed [D] some glorious [C] things.
An [G] angel has appeared to us so bright with [Bm] golden wings,
[C] A story [G] of a baby who on this [D] night is [C] born,
A [G] kingdom of all kingdoms, [D] our [C] shelter from all [D] storms.
They [G] sang,
Hallelulah, la la la la, le halalala, [D] hallelujah!
[G]
When I arrived in Bethlehem the star was [D] brightly [G] shining,
Into a manger I could see a mother and her child.
Three men of stately origin with precious [D] gifts were bearing,
[G] They knelt before the newborn king and a holy lady saw,
[D] A [C] kingdom for the loving he has come [D] to lead us [C] to.
The Son [G] of Man is living now, can you feel it too?
[C] I scarcely [G] can believe my ears, the joy is [D] in my [C] heart,
For [G] God has heard his people's needs [D] and [C] gave a brand new [D] start. They [G] sang,
Hallelulah, la la la la, le halalala, hallelujah!
