On a night so long ago By the light of one bright star Two weary travelers far from GalileeTook refuge in a stable Where a little child was born To bring the gift of love to you and me When the angels told the shepherds of His birthThere came a great rejoicing on the earth 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 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 How the angels told the shepherds of His birthAnd there came a great rejoicing on the earth 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
