One quiet moment
In the star-clustered night
Two weary travelers
Knew an end was in sight
So the soon-to-be mother
Grasped her husband's strong hand
And paused to remember
Where their journey began

Nine months of yearning
Filled with joy and with pain
He almost had left her
But then chose to remain
Close by the woman
He had not even kissed
Who would bear him a Son
That would nevеr be his

And in one quiet momеnt
A woman and man
Accepted the part
They would have in God's plan
To give up His glory
And be born as a man
In one quiet moment
They dreamed of the times
They would spend with their Son
Taking walks through the hillsides
And watching Him run
And some days, the fingers
That had fashioned the stars
Would reach out to hold them
When the walk was too far

They wrestled with knowing
That His life would bring change
Their friends would grow distant
And shun them as strange
Though they tried not to think it
In their hearts they were sure
That their baby was destined
To die for the world

And in one quiet moment
A woman and man
Accepted the part
They would have in God's plan
To give up His glory
And be born as a man
In one quiet moment
In one quiet moment
In one quiet moment
One quiet moment
They could suddenly hear
Thousands of angels
Singing so clear
"Glory to God!
His salvation is near"
In this one quiet moment
In this one quiet moment
One quiet moment
