At Christmas there are presents
Underneath the tree
The train goes clang
And the drum goes bang
There’s a gift
That you cannot see
O the best present of all
Is Jesus
The best present of all
Is God’s Son
Yes the best present of all
Is the one God gave to me
The best present of all
Is from Him
Underneath the mistletoe
Grandma gives me a kiss
So I give her a gift
I made myself
And I give it with a wish
May your best present of all
Be Jesus
May your best present of all
Be God’s Son
May your best present of all
Be the one God gave to you
May your best present of all
Be from Him
Well I wish you
A merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
But most of all I wish for you
That Jesus would be near
A baby in a manger
Two thousand years ago
Was the greatest gift
That we will ever know
