Oh, nobody knew that my Jesus He come
When the Savior came down as a baby child
Nobody knew that my Jesus He come
He was born in a manger, so meek and mild
Nobody knew that my Jesus He come
There wasn't a room in that Bethlehem town
Nobody knew that my Jesus He come
For the King of Kings there wasn't even a crown
Nobody knew that my Jesus He come
When the Savior came down from glory on high
Nobody knew that my Jesus He come
Save the shepherds keepin' watch o'er the flocks by night
Nobody knew that my Jesus He come
Save Mary and Joseph in the manger stall
Nobody knew that my Jesus He come
Or the wise men who would follow the star
Nobody knew that my Jesus He come
But in the Heaven, an angel choir
Was singin' "Glory to the Lord on high!"
The sky was shinin' with a heavenly light
For the Lord He come that holy night
But no one, no one, no one knew
That King Jesus, He come down
I'm tellin' ya nobody, nobody, nobody knew
King Jesus, He come down
When the Lord returns from Heaven on high
Nobody knows when my Jesus He come
He's gonna come real soon, like a thief in the night
Nobody knows when my Jesus He come
So who can say they know the day or the hour
Nobody knows when my Jesus He come
When King Jesus returns with all glory and pow'r
Nobody knows when my Jesus He come
There's no one on Earth or Heaven above
Nobody knows when my Jesus He come
Not even the angels, not even the Son
Nobody knows when my Jesus He come
But when the Father says, "Son, it's time to go!"
Nobody knows when my Jesus He come
Ev'ry eye is gonna see, everybody will know
Nobody knows when my Jesus He come
We're gonna hear ol' Gabriel shout
We're gonna hear that mighty trumpet sound
And every eye gonna finally see
That Jesus, He's the King of Kings
But no one, no one, no one knows
When King Jesus, He come down
I'm tellin' ya nobody, nobody, nobody knows
When King Jesus, He come down
I'm tellin' ya nobody, nobody, nobody knows
Nobody knows when King Jesus, He come
Nobody knows when King Jesus, He come
