Lyrics

A child was born on Christmas day,
in a manger he so sweetly lay,
The angels sang in pure harmony,
and heralded the new-born King!

Chorus:

O Glorious night that Christ was born,
From a manger to a King on a throne.
To all the faithful He calls His own,
He is Christ the Lord of All!

The stars shone bright that wondrous night,
As the shepherds bowed in hushed delight,
An angel told of the Savior's birth,
Goodwill toward men and peace on earth!

(Chorus)


So haste they made to see the sight,
in the manger on that holy night,
The child so peacefully sleeping there,
had come to earth our sins to bear!

(Chorus)
