Ideal for Christmas concerts and young choirs.

Lyrics sample - 

For a bed in a shed down in Bethlehem

Many, many years ago.

On a heap of hay on a special day

A little baby lay his head.

Noble kings from afar saw a silver star

Give a smile to the town below.

And the shepherds knew what they had to do

When an angel to them said:

Will you sing (Will you sing)

‘He’s the King’? (‘He’s the King’?)

It’s the message we bring this Christmas.

Will you hear? (Will you hear?)

Will you cheer (Will you cheer)

With joy?
