Lyrics
A bright star appeared in the dark night to guide us
To the child born a king, who left heaven to find us
When you're lost in the dark it still shines to show us the way
The way to the baby born in Bethlehem
The child who can make us all children again
If we bring him our hearts like a present on Christmas day
Chorus
Gloria, Gloria
Desire of the nations, true love has a name Jesus is born today
Carols and sleigh bells all echo his name
Churches and shopping malls join in the strains
Of the anthem to mercy of the God who bends low to bless
Even the silence that sounds like the falling of snow
Is singing the song that the snow angels know "Glory to God in the highest"
In ribbons and wrapping we keep our surprises Dressing our gifts up in brilliant disguises But the biggest of gifts always come in small sizes
And Jesus is born today
Wise men for ages have looked for him since
And discovered a treasure for beggar and prince
Riches of wonder and a peace to give the weary rest
