Starlight shines, the night is still
Shepherds watch from the hill
I close my eyes, see the night
When love was born

Perfect child

Gently waits, a mother bends to kiss God's face
I close my eyes, see the night
When love was born

Angels fill the midnight sky
They sing: Alleluia, he is Christ, our king
Emmanuel! (Emmanuel!) Emmanuel!
He is our prince of peace
Alleluia! (Allelu-)

Emmanuel, prince of peace
Love come down for you and me
Heaven's gift, the holy spark
To light the way inside our heart

Bethlehem to your small throne
King of hope we've waiting for
The world was changed forever more
When love was born
I close my eyes, see the night
When love was born
