A star shone up in heaven The night the child was born; The radiant light it cast afar, Turned darkness into morn. To the wise men in the east Who had waited very long, It told the glorious news That on the earth a Saviour, The son of God, was born. And on that night of nights, Great peace did reign upon earth; The angels sang, the world rejoiced The night of Jesus birth. To the shepherds on the hilltops Who were watching o'er their flocks; They sang the glorious news That, on the earth, a Saviour, The son of God was born. La, la, la la, la la … Although the years have passed, The star is shining still, And peace and joy can still be found By all men of goodwill. To the rich man and the poor man. To the young and to the old, It tells the glorious news That on the earth, a Saviour, the son of God was born.
