The First Christmas Morn

C   Em   F   G

[Verse 1]
  C           C7           F
A star in the East leading Wise Men to Him
C          C7     F
He and His mother bringing gifts to them
  Em           C7      F
A sign telling all the Christ Child is born
C       G               C    C* Dm7* G*
On this first Christmas morn

[Verse 2]
C             C7             F
Shepherds lay trembling from fear some were fleeing
    C         C7         F
The East sky ablaze what could they be seeing
     Em         C7     F
They heard of a Savior soon to be born
       G                             C    C7
Had he comes on this first Christmas morn

[Chorus]
      F           G     Em          C7
Could this be the day a new world begins
    F         G                  C              G
Can this tiny child walk through life free from sin
    C            C7           F
Has mankind been blest with a port from all storms
C       G               C    Em  F
On this first Christmas morn

(Key change, up one semitone)

[Verse 3]
G         C              C7         F
    These things came to pass as we now all know
    C                 C7         F
May these thoughts be planted in our minds to grow
Em           C7         F
Let's not forget why He wore a crown of thorns
C       G              C    C* Dm7* C7*
On this next Christmas morn

[Chorus]
      F           G     Em          C7
Could this be the day a new world begins
    F         G                  C              G
Can this tiny child walk through life free from sin
    C            C7           F
Has mankind been blest with a port from all storms
C       G               C    Em  D* G*  C*
On this first Christmas morn
