One sacred holy night
Shepherds in their fields
Startled by
Angel cry
Brightest light
A song like never heard
And glory all around
Heavenly
Symphony
Hear the sound
God has come
We are on
Holy ground
Holy night, holy night
Your glory shining bright
Upon that holy night
In the fields of Bethlehem
The wise men travel far
Guided by this star
Majesty
Mystery
Promised King
God has come
We can feel
Heaven here
Holy night, holy night
Your glory shining bright
Upon that holy night,
In the streets of Bethlehem
Holy night, holy night
Your glory shining bright
Upon that holy night,
When their eyes beheld the King
Holy night, holy night
Let Your glory shine on us
Just like that holy night,
In the fields of Bethlehem
Holy night, holy night
Let Your glory shine on us
Just like that holy night,
In the streets of Bethlehem
Just like that holy night,
When their eyes beheld the King
