Christmas Songs 2 Once Upon A Christmas Lyrics

Once Upon A Christmas Lyrics

(Dolly Parton)



Once upon a Christmas far away in Bethlehem 

Mary being great with child had no place to lie down 

So Joseph found a stable in which Mary had her child 

Once upon a Christmas was the birth of Jesus Christ 

Once upon a Christmas in a manger far away 

A King was born His palace was a manger filled with hay 

His royal robe was swaddling cloth a halo was His crown 

Once upon a Christmas away in Bethlehem 



And all the world rejoiced because the King was born at last 

A savior had been promised now it had come to pass 

And the joyful news that He was born spread quickly far and wide 

Once upon a Christmas was the birth of Jesus Christ 



Once upon a Christmas from the Far East wise men came 

With gold and myrrh and frankincense to praise the newborn King 

And shepherds left their flocks and came to see and worship Him 

Once upon a Christmas away in Bethlehem 



And all the world rejoiced because the King was born at last 

A savior had been promised now it had come to pass 

And the joyful news that He was born spread quickly far and wide 

Once upon a Christmas was the birth of Jesus Christ 



Once upon a Christmas far away in Bethlehem
