One still night, Mary awoke
Stirred by an angel, she trembled as he spoke
One small child, would soon be born
The King of kings will wear a crown of thorns
“Glory to God,” the angels sang
“Immanuel was born for you this day
Peace on earth, good will toward men
Immanuel has come to Bethlehem
Immanuel has come to Bethlehem”
One still night, while Joseph dreamed
He saw a vision within his troubled sleep
One small child, his bride would give
Deliverer delivered, to save us from our sin
And to His kingdom there’ll be no end
And to His kingdom there’ll be no end
And to His kingdom there’ll be no end
One still night, a light was shown
That all the darkness could never overcome
