Night had come, their rest at hand
The shepherds laid down on the sand
With heavy lids they closed their eyes
In hopes no cause would bid them rise
When suddenly they heard a noise!
They feared to hear the radiant voice:
“Good news! Go now and see this sight
A baby shivers in the night
Your Savior has at long last come
To do what none before has done
The King of Kings is laid in straw
And even we are filled with awe
Make haste, go now behold your king
And see the reason why we sing,
The King of Heaven has come down
And in His blood your sins will drown
And never more you’ll be afraid
For God is in a manger laid!”
