Upon this Christmas Night
Verse 1
In ancient times, subdued by Roman rule
A star shone bright to light a world so cruel
A baby’s cry was heard, and darkness soon took flight
And hope returned upon this Christmas night
Chorus
Hail the babe who came to save us
Alleluia, he’s here to redeem us
All he asks of us is to be kind and good
Open your heart, and fill this world with love
Verse 2
It started in the town of Bethlehem
Then far and wide the wondrous news did spread
A trumpet sound rang out and Angels sang on high
Be quiet, be still, you will hear mankind sigh
Chorus
Verse 3
A thousand years pass by and Vikings hear
The people of the world spreading the cheer
The baby born, for us, upon that Christmas morn
Brings Joy and peace to the lost and forlorn
Chorus
Verse 4
Another thousand years and here we stand
Though war and turmoil rage from land to land
The gift of love, mankind, received that Christmas day
A burning flame enlightening our way.
Chorus
Hail the babe who came to save us
Alleluia, he’s here to redeem us
All he asks of us is to be kind and good
Open your heart, and fill this world with love (repeat)
