Lyrics
Midnight sleeping Bethlehem,
Stars above are shining bright.
Suddenly, a shaft lightens up the sky,
Startled shepherds wake in fright.
Hosts of angels sing a song
Of a maiden undefiled.
Sing the birthday of a child.
Praise the Lord, alleluia!
Peace on earth, good will to men.
Peace on earth, good will to men.
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head.
The stars in the bright sky look down where He lay,
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
INSTRUMENTAL
Suddenly, a shaft lightens up the sky,
Startled shepherds wake in fright.
Hosts of angels sing a song
Of a maiden undefiled.
Sing the birthday of a child.
Praise the Lord, alleluia!
Peace on earth, good will to men.
Peace on earth, good will to men.
