One glorious night When love crossed over And cast aside Both crown and throne To live beside The common man As was foretold The promised one
And there he lay In humble straw As angels sing "goodwill to all" A gift from God To reconcile All men to him This perfect child
Behold this day A savior's born And in whose fate This world has longed Conceived in faith Received with love Come kneel beside This child of God Come kneel beside This child of God
