TONIGHT, WHILE ALL THE WORLD WAS SLEEPING
A light exploded in the skies
And then, as glory did surround us
A voice, an angel did appear!
Glory to God in the highest (Men - Women echo)
And on the earth (Men)
Be peace from heav'n! (All)
Afraid, we covered up our faces
Amazed at what our ears did hear
Good news, of joy for all the people
Today, a saviour has appeared!
And so to Bethlehem
To find it all was true
Despised and worthless shepherds
We were the first to know!
