Lyrics
Cattle low, a baby cries, miracle birth,
once upon a starlit night in the town of Bethlehem.
The angel came to tell the news to shepherds that night,
of the Savior's birth in the town of Bethlehem
Angels filled the sky, singing praises on high
as the shepherds watched the sight on that holiest of nights...
A guiding star led the way to the stable where He lay,
once upon a starlit night in the town of Bethlehem.
The shepherds ran to see the sight in the manger that night
of the holy child in the town of Bethlehem.
Angels filled the sky, singing praises on high
as the shepherds watched the sight on that holiest of nights...
The virgin pondered in her heart all that came to pass,
once upon a starlit night in the town of Bethlehem.
Her little son, the Holy One, was sent to bear our sins
on that holy night in the town of Bethlehem.
And angels filled the sky, singing praises on high
as the shepherds watched the sight on that holiest of nights,
All the heavenly realm celebrated the birth
of the little Jesus child in the town of Bethlehem.
Once upon a starlit night in the town of Bethlehem...
Once upon that starlit night in the town of Bethlehem...
