The night came so holy
And fell silently and slowly
On the stable so lowly
When Jesus was born

Then guided to Bethlehem
Three simple shepherds found him
With cattle around him
When Jesus was born

While Mary with joy was weeping
The babe lazily lay sleeping
With angels and cherubs keeping
A story above

And down from the heaven
A great light they say was falling
And kings came a calling
When Jesus was born

And down from the heaven
A great light they say was falling
And kings came a calling
When Jesus was born
