On a starlit hillside, shepherds watched their sheep Slowly, David's city drifted off to sleep But to this little town of no great renown The Lord had a promise to keep
Prophets had foretold it, a mighty King would come Long awaited Ruler, God's Anointed One But the Sovereign of all looked helpless and small As God gave the world His own Son
And who would have dreamed or ever foreseen That we could hold God in our hands? The Giver of Life is born in the night Revealing God's glorious plan To save the world
Wondrous gift of heaven: the Father sends the Son Planned from time eternal, moved by holy love He will carry our curse and death He'll reverse So we can be daughters and sons
