 Oh holy night with heavens brightly alight Oh holy night as winged angels took flight With glistening starlight caressing the earth In the hamlet of Bethlehem came His birth. Turned from the inn that had no room Weakened with babe restless in womb Mother Mary lay down on a matting of hay And in a stable Christ was born that day. To the Virgin Mary was delivered a child, Unto the world a Savior gentle and mild, In swaddling Jesus lay asleep in a manger His name as yet unsung to any stranger. In the easterly sky a star appeared beaming Brightly lighting where baby lay dreaming, Oh glorious night while souls in slumber lay Came precious Lord Jesus asleep in the hay. Unto near shepherds tending flock by night Came an angel of The Lord in hurried flight, In reverence they cowered petrified as stone And covering them a light so brilliantly shone. And the angel said, be not afraid but behold For I give you glad tidings that shall be told, I deliver you good tidings of hope with mirth, The Redeemer is born for mankind on earth. Suddenly a host of heavenly angels came Saying peace and goodwill in God's name, Greatest praise and glory to Father on high Then they vanished toward the eastern sky. The shepherds went beneath Bethlehem skies And viewed this miracle with astonished eyes Then traveling the country as quickly as able They spread the tidings of birth in the stable. Having watched the star of the newborn King Three Wise Men went with gifts they bring, Over fields and mountains traveling from afar With wonder they followed the eastern star. They followed till the star stood where baby lay And they entered where Mary rested on hay, Seeing the newborn King they fell to their knees Presenting treasures they prayed would please. The Magi presented frankincense, myrrh and gold And the miracle of Mary's child will forever hold, Just as three Wise Men worshipped the newborn So too we believers on revered Christmas morn. We celebrate the season and the reason for His birth For He is The Son and Savior of humanity on Earth And each year in the splendor of The Noel season We praise The Father for delivering us the reason.
