All On A Wintry Night<br />

A bright star was shining down <br />

Upon the little town of Bethlehem <br />

The shepherds in their fields<br />

Were amazed at the sound<br />

Of angels singing in Jerusalem <br />

<br />

The wise men made their way <br />

Every traveling night and day <br />

With myrrh and frankincense <br />

and gifts of gold <br />

While Mary, meek and mild <br />

Labored <br />

with her first born child <br />

And Joseph sheltered <br />

with her from the cold <br />

<br />

The angels and the animals <br />

Were kneeling to His glory <br />

To praise the Son of God <br />

Come once upon a time <br />

The promised Prince of Peace <br />

The babe in swaddling clothes <br />

In his mothers arms did sleep <br />

Embraced <br />

within a lullaby of light <br />

The angels sang on high <br />

The song of heaven bright <br />

Redemption came upon <br />

that blessed night <br />

<br />

The trembling voice of shepherd <br />

The harp that played a melody <br />

And Joseph knew among the straw <br />

The glory of divinity <br />

The promised prince of peace <br />

So let us sing his praise <br />

The baby King of light <br />

And make a place <br />

within our manger stall <br />

His promise is renewed <br />

Upon this Christmas night <br />

For you, for me, <br />

for shepherd King and all <br />

<br />

The glory of this humble verse <br />

Relieves us of our poverty <br />

And we are rich in blessing <br />

For He was born for you and me <br />

The promised Prince of Peace</
