Jesus Oh What a Wonderful Child

[Chorus]
Jesus, Jesus
Oh what a wonderful child
Jesus, Jesus
So lowly, meek, and mild
New life, new hope, new joy He brings
Won’t you listen to the angels sing
Glory, glory, glory
To the new born King
Jesus, Jesus
Oh what a wonderful child
Jesus, Jesus
So lowly, meek, and mild
New life, new hope, new joy He brings
Won’t you listen to the angels sing
Glory, glory, glory
To the new born King

[Verse]
He was heralded by the angels
Born in a lowly manger
The virgin Mary was His mother
And Joseph was His earthly father
Three wise men came from afar
They were guided by a shining star
To see King Jesus where He lay
In a manger filled with hay, oh

[Chorus]
Jesus, Jesus
Oh what a wonderful child
Jesus, Jesus
So lowly, meek, and mild
New life, new hope, new joy He brings
Won’t you listen to the angels sing
Glory, glory, glory
To the new born King
Jesus, Jesus
Oh what a wonderful child
Jesus, Jesus
So lowly, meek, and mild
New life, new hope, new joy He brings
Won’t you listen to the angels sing
Glory, glory, glory
To the new born King

[Verse]
He was heralded by the angels
Born in a lowly manger
The virgin Mary was His mother
And Joseph was His earthly father
Three wise men came from afar
They were guided by a shining star
To see King Jesus where He lay
In a manger filled with hay, oh

[Outro]
Woo
Jesus
Oh, Jesus
Jesus
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Oh, oh, Jesus
Oh, Jesus
Woo
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Jesus
Oh
Oh, Jesus
Oh, Jesus
Oh, Jesus
Oh, Jesus
Oh, Jesus
Woo
Jesus
Jesus
Jesus
Jesus
Jesus
Jesus
Whoa
