All on a wintry night
A bright star was shining down
Upon the little town of Bethlehem
The shepherds in the field
Were amazed at the sound
Of angels singing in Jerusalem
Three wise men made their way
Ever traveling night and day
With myrrh and frankincense and gifts of gold
While Mary, meek and mild
Labored with her firstborn child
And Joseph sheltered with her from the cold
The angels and the animals
Were kneeling to His glory
To praise the Son of God come once upon a time
The promised Prince of Peace
The Babe in swaddling clothes
In His mother′s arms did sleep
Embraced within a lullaby of light
The angels sang on high
The song of heaven bright
Redemption came upon that blessed night
The trembling voice of shepherds
The harp that played a melody
And Joseph knew among the straw
The glories of divinity
The promised Prince of Peace
So let us sing His praise
O Baby King of Light!
And make a place within our manger stall
His promise is renewed
Upon each Christmas night
For you, for me, for shepherd, king and all
The glory of His humble birth
Relieves us of our poverty
And we are rich in blessing
For He was born for you and me
The promised Prince of Peace
The promised Prince of Peace
