GWho would Amthink that D7what was Gneeded
CTo transAm6form and D7save the Gearth

CComing Am6here on D7Christmas GDay.
[Verse 2]
GShepherds Amwatch and D7wise men Gwonder,
CMonarchs Am6scorn and D7angels Gsing;
GSuch a Amplace as D7none would Greckon
CHosts a Am6holy D7helpless Gthing;
GStable Dm/Fbeasts and Eby-passed Amstrangers
Am7Watch a Bm7baby Cmaj7laid in D7hay:
GGod surAmprises D7earth with Gheaven
CComing Am6here on D7Christmas GDay.

Am7Lest our Bm7hopes and Cmaj7hu-mour D7fray,
GGod surAmprises D7earth with Gheaven
CComing Am6here on D7Christmas GDay.
