Earth lies spellbound in darkness Sin's oppressive night Yet in Bethlehem Hope is burning bright Mysteries are unfolding But the only sign Is a manger bed Where a baby cries
Wake up wake up it's Christmas morning Christ's eternal day is dawning Angels sing in exultation Fill the streets with celebration Now to God on high be glory To the earth proclaim the story Ring the bells in jubilation Tell the news to every nation Christ has come
Crowding stairways of starlight Choirs of angels sing Glory glory to God In the highest heaven Peace is stilling the violence Hope is rising high God is watching us now Through a baby's eyes
Weakness shatters the pow'rful Meekness shames the proud Vain imaginings Come tumbling down Ancient mercies remembered Hungry satisfied Lowly humble hearts Are lifted high
