The Nativity Song – Flip Chart & Lyrics

This post may also available in (translations in progress): English Español

Have you picked out Christmas songs for Primary yet? This is one I haven’t done before, so I was excited to play with it when my friend suggested it!

I created a The Nativity Song Flip Chart to use in Primary and leading when conducting this song, since chances are you won’t have a lot of time to learn the song.

Since we only had *2* Sunday’s to learn The Nativity Song, I opted to also made some fun, large, sing-along posters! You can see my The Nativity Song Sing-Along posters over here.

As a Primary music leader, I didn’t like endless pages which made actually flipping through the flip chart really difficult and cumbersome. So, I set out to make my own.

Since I use HP’s Instant Ink service, which lets you print full color prints for no extra fee, I love including big lifestyle images whenever possible! Plus, fun colors to highlight keywords.

I love having just ONE page per verse, whenever possible. It cuts down on unnecessary flipping, which is difficult and cumbersome! This post is super helpful to see how I use flip charts with all the rest of my tips and tricks!

The Nativity Song Lyrics

Verse 1:
This is the season beloved of the year.
Sing a rhyme; Christmastime soon will be here.
Tell the true story of Jesus’ birth,
When, as a baby, he came to earth.

Verse 2:
This is the new star, shining so bright,
Lighting the world on that first Christmas night.
This is the angel proclaiming the birth,
Singing “Hosanna!” and “Peach on the earth!”

Verse 3:
This is the stable, shelter so bare;
Cattle and oxen first welcomed him there.
This is the manger, sweet hay for a bed,
Waiting for Jesus to cradle his head.

Verse 4:
These are the shepherds, humble and mild,
Hast’ning to worship the heavenly child.
These are the wise men who followed the star
Frankincense, gold, and myrrh brought from afar.

Verse 5:
See the sweet mother, Mary so fair,
Joseph, who guided the donkey with care.
See the dear baby of Bethlehem,
Little Lord Jesus, the Savior of men.
