[Verse 1]
I was awoken in the middle of the night
I looked up to see a blinding light
What could this be? What could this mean?
I am a shepherd tending my sheep

[Verse 2]
Lo and behold
Marvelous being, floating above on angel's wings
Strong was his voice and I was frightened by the sight
And I ran, I ran, I ran

[Verse 3]
But he said wait, wait
Do not be afraid
For the King of Glory has come today

[Chorus 1]
Good news, good news
A Savior has been born to you
He is Christ the Lord, he is Christ the Lord
And down in Bethlehem he does lay
Sleeping in a manger filled with hay

[Verse 4]
I and my brothers had fallen to our knees
Why to poor shepherds do you tell this things?
I will go, I will go to see this babe so fair
I will go down to the city to see him there
