Long ago on a starry night
Shepherds saw a shining light
Ding dong ding dong ding dong ding
(ding, dong, ding dong)
A heavenly choir was singing upon
A Christmas night

Then they followed that burning star
Through the night so cold so far
Ding dong ding dong ding dong ding
(ding, dong, ding dong)
A heavenly choir was singing upon
That Christmas night

In a stable cold and dark
Their new King was born that night
Oh Jesus Christ

And angels on that holy night
Sang praises for their King's delight

Gold and myrrh, they would bring the King
They all came to honour Him
And Mary smiled at her little child
While Joseph watched 'till the morning light

And Mary smiled at her little child
While Joseph watched ‘till the morning light

Then they followed that burning star
Through the night, so cold so far
Ding dong ding dong ding dong ding
(ding, dong, ding dong)
A heavenly choir was singing upon
That Christmas night

In a stable cold and dark
Their new King was born that night
Oh Jesus Christ

And angels on that holy night
Sang praises for their King's delight

Gold and myrrh, they would bring the King
They all came to honour Him
And Mary smiled at her little child
While Joseph watched 'till the morning light

Gold and myrrh, they would bring the King
They all came to honour Him
And Mary smiled at her little child
While Joseph watched 'till the morning light.
