Once upon a silent night
Shepherds saw a blinding light
At a trembling maiden's cry of pain
The world forever changed

The cathedral was a stable bare
Beasts of earth bore witness there
On an altar made of sweetest hay
Heaven's Son did lay


From God's heart to our side
Came the promised Child
Flesh and bone
Lamb of Life
Simple holy Christ
Born a sacrifice

Angels sang a symphony
Heralding the new born King
He was christened by the star above
To give His life in love


From God's heart to our side
Came the promised Child
Flesh and bone
Lamb of life
Simple holy Christ
Born a sacrifice
