lyrics

On a frozen hillside outside of Bethlehem,
Shepherds watch their sheep beneath the sky
Sitting by the fireside, all rough and ready men,
That's how they earn their keep, as all of Bethl'hem sleeps nearby.

Oo As the world just slips on by

Shepherds by the fire, they live from day to day.
Working nights to earn their daily bread.
They long for their Messiah, just like the Scriptures say.
They watch the fire burn and in their hearts they yearn

For a day when people say, God is with us.
For a night of hope and light on Earth
For a change some news so strange and wonderful
How they pray to see the Saviour's birth.

Then the stars are falling, falling from the sky
And the hill shines bright as any day
The shepherds, blindly crawling, and trembling as they cry,
Then from the dazzling light a voice calls in the night and says

Oo, there’s no need to be afraid

Everything is changing, I bring you good news,
Christ the Lord is born in Bethlehem.
The Earth is rearranging, and God is breaking through,
A bright and joyful dawn, the night at last has gone

Now's the day when people say, God is with us.
Here's the night of hope and light on Earth
Here's the change the news so strange and wonderful
Now's the day you see the Saviour's birth.

Then there comes a roaring, the curtain draws aside.
All of Heaven's glory blazes through.
Heaven's angels pouring - a great and shining tide
A multitude and more, all praising God in glory!

Glory to God on high! Glory to God on high!
Glory be to God, be to God on high.
Glory to God on high!

Glory to God in the Highest Heaven Let there be peace on Earth!
Glory to God in the Highest Heaven Let there be peace on Earth!

Peace once more descending upon the hillside here
The glory fades and rises in the sky.
The angels' song is ending, it's echoes disappear,
The shepherds rub their eyes, and gaze into the skies and cry.

Oo tears in their eyes, now the men arise, they cry for joy for Christ is born.

They cry for joy for Christ is born.
