This night was born long ago
A Treasure worth more than gold!
This night was born in Bethlehem
My Shepherd and my precious Lamb!
This night was born the incarnate Word!
This night was born the almighty Lord!
This night was born the Birth of all
In a humble cattle stall!
This night was born for you and me
The Gift of life in eternity!

Born of Mary, God's Begotten,
Here on earth the incarnate Word,
Born to die for man's salvation,
This gentle Baby is our Lord.
Lying soundly in a manger,
The Savior wrapped in swaddling clothes
Is adored by shepherd strangers,
Who were told by the Babe's own host.
And when they saw the things they heard,
They made the saying widely known
That this day is born Christ the Lord,
And all the waiting now is done.
Mary in her heart was pond'ring
All the great things her God had planned
For all men, their sins forgiving
Through this Jesus, both God and man.
Let us ponder, as did Mary,
The Gift of love our God has shown.
Let us run, as did the shepherds,
To share this news with ev'ryone.
