tonight

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,

and on the earth all peace from heav'n!

Glory to God in the highest,

and on the earth all peace from heav'n!




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
