Starlight shines, the night is still Shepherds watching from a hill I close my eyes, and see the night When love was born Perfect child gently waits A mother bends to kiss God's face I close my eyes, and see the night When love was born Angels fill the midnight sky, and they sing Hallelujah, He is Christ, our King Emmanuel, Prince of peace Love came down for you and me Heaven's gift, a holy spark To let the way inside our hearts Bethlehem, through your small door Came the hope we've waited for The world was changed forevermore When love was born
