A child is born upon this night beneath a star so bright
From heaven above to earth has come the dark to save us from
This newborn babe of lowly birth brings light to all the earth
The God who once created all rests in a manger small
Now let us all with gladsome cheer go with the shepherds near
To see the crib marked by a star with Wise Men from afar
Were earth a thousand times as far crowned with gold and jewels rare
She yet were far too poor to be a cradle Lord for Thee
My heart for very joy doth leap I cannot silence keep
With angel choirs I sing along the ancient cradle song
Of peace on earth, good will to men until He comes again
To fill the world with truth and light a Child is born this night
