ON A SILENT NIGHT
WITH A MIDNITE SO CLEAR
A SHEPHERD TENDING SHEEP
HEARD VOICES SO DEAR
GLORIAS WERE RESOUNDING
FROM ANGELS ON HIGH
A STAR BRIGHTLY SHINING
DID HE SUDDENLY SPY
OVER BETHLEHEM TOWN
DID IT SEEM TO BE
SO HE LEFT HIS FLOCK
FOR THE SIGHT TO SEE
TWAS SO COMPELLING
THE SIGHTS AND SOUNDS
AS HE ENTERED THE OUTSKIRTS
OF THIS TINY TOWN
AHEAD WERE THREE MAGI
SO HE FOLLOWED ALONG
SUDDENLY FEELING
TWAS WHERE HE BELONGED
DRAWN TO A STABLE
NOT KNOWING JUST WHY
SUDDENLY HE HEARD
A NEWBORN BABY’S CRY
THE MAGI WERE KNEELING
IN REVERENCE AND AWE
IN SWADDLING CLOTHING
THE BABY HE SAW
HE HEARD ANGELS SINGING
FROM HEAVEN ABOVE
AS THE MAGI GAVE GIFTS
SHOWING TRIBUTE AND LOVE
NOT KNOWING WHAT HAPPENED
BUT REALIZED TWAS GOOD
HE FELL TO HIS KNEES
AS HE KNEW HE SHOULD
FOR AWAY IN A MANGER
ON A MOST HOLY NIGHT
THE CHRIST CHILD WAS BORN
BRINGING THE WORLD LIGHT
