[Verse 1]
On a night so long ago, by the light of one bright star
Two weary travelers far from Galilee
Took refuge in a stable where a little child was born
To bring the gift of love to you and me

[Pre-Chorus]
When the angels told the shepherds of His birth
There came a great rejoicing on the earth

[Chorus]
And they sang "Glory to God in the highest"
Dawning that first Christmas morn'
"Peace on earth and tidings of great joy
For unto you this night a child is born"

[Verse 2]
And lo these many years since then, that ancient star still guides us
And now again our Christmas voices ring
Blessed we are and safe at home with loved ones here beside us
And in the still and silent night we sing

[Pre-Chorus]
How the angels told the shepherds of His birth
And there came a great rejoicing on the earth
[Chorus]
And they sang "Glory to God in the highest"
Dawning that first Christmas morn'
"Peace on earth and tidings of great joy
For unto you this night a child is born"

[Chorus]
And they sang "Glory to God in the highest"
Dawning that first Christmas morn'
"Peace on earth and tidings of great joy
For unto you this night a child is born"
