Once there were shepherds out tending their sheep
On a hill overlooking the town
They were poor, they were lowly, and quite unexpecting
When they heard an angelic sound
Announcing the birth of a Savior, Christ Jesus
In Bethlehem - who would have dreamed such a thing ?
And as they looked up they beheld countless angels
Proclaiming the praise of their King.
Chorus:
They sang "Glory to God in the Highest.
Peace on the earth and good will to all men."
They sang "Glory to God in the Highest.
Peace and good will to all men."
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven
The shepherds decided to go
To Bethlehem, for they just had to discover
This place and it's wonders behold.
They came to a stable and found in a manger
The Savior disguised as a poor helpless babe
A holy, unlikely but wonderful King
Inspiring the praise that they gave
Repeat Chorus
Extra Bridge:
On that night a few caught a glimpse of a Kingdom
The marvelous kingdom of God it would be
A Kingdom invisible but to the hearts
Of the people the King would set free
Repeat Chorus
