Elvis used this traditional spiritual in his live concerts, usually with "I
Got A Woman". The song can be sung over and over repeatedly in improvisation.



(Traditional)


Amen, amen
Amen, amen, amen
See the little baby
Amen
Wrapped in the manager
Amen
On Christmas morning,
Amen, amen, amen.

See Him in the temple
Talking to the elders.
Who marvelled at His wisdom.

See Him in the Jordan
Where John was baptisted
And savin' all sinners

Marchin' in Jerusalem
Over palm branches
In pomp and splendor
Led before Pilate
Then they crucified Him
But the rose on Easter

See Him on the seaside
Talkin' to the fisherman
And makin' them disciples.

See Him in the garden
Prayin' to His father
In deepest sorrow.

Hallelujah
He died to save us
And He lives forever.



AMEN
Chorus:
C
Amen, amen
         Dm Am G9 C
Amen, amen, amen.
C
See the little baby
        Amen
Lying in the manager
        Amen
On Christmas morning,
                 Dm Am G9 C
        Amen, amen, amen.


See Him in the temple
Talking to the elders.
Who marvelled at His wisdom.

See Him in the Jordan
Where John was baptisted
And savin' all sinners

Marchin' in Jerusalem
Over palm branches
In pomp and splendor
Led before Pilate
Then they crucified Him
But the rose on Easter

See Him on the seaside
Talkin' to the fisherman
And makin' them disciples.

See Him in the garden
Prayin' to His father
In deepest sorrow.

Hallelujah
He died to save us
And He lives forever.
