Sandi Patty - Worship the Gift Lyrics

It came upon the midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold

Away in a manger no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

What Child is this who laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping

O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in the dark street shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight

Sleep in heavenly peace
