Verse I
Long, Long Ago,
One winter night,
A child was born,
To bring us light.
A gift of wonder
to behold,
He sleeps… on hay of gold.
From kingdoms far,
The wisemen three
Came Bearing gifts,
For the new king
A lowly stable,
A manger bed,
Is where the star's light led.
CHORUS
For the Lord,
So loved this weary world,
That He gave his only son!
The seed of joy,
Was born that Christmas night,
Sweet child of hope and light.
Verse II
While shepherds watched
On hillsides green
Beneath a star’s
Bright loving beam
They saw an angel,
Above the trees,
And fell,
On bended knees.
Be not afraid,
The angel sings,
Tidings of Joy
Is what I bring,
In Bethlehem
You shall see,
A child
The prince of peace
For the Lord,
So loved this weary world,
That He gave his only son!
The seed of joy,
Was born that Christmas night,
Sweet child of hope and light.
Finale
Mere echoes now,
Messiah's song,
It's old as time,
Still growing strong,
Ever brightly, his loving light,
Still burns each Christmas night
Ever brightly, His loving light
Still burns Each Christmas night...
Christmas Night.
