It was on a starry night
When the hills were bright
Earth lay sleeping, sleeping calm and still.
Then in a cattle shed, in a manger bed
A boy was born, king of all the world.
Soon the shepherds came that way
Where the baby lay
And were kneeling, kneeling by his side.
And their hearts believed again for the peace of men,
For a boy was born, King of all the world.
Chorus
And all the angels sang for him,
The bells of heaven rang for him
For a boy was born, King of all the world.
When the hills were bright
Earth lay sleeping, sleeping calm and still.
Then in a cattle shed, in a manger bed
A boy was born, king of all the world.
Soon the shepherds came that way
Where the baby lay
And were kneeling, kneeling by his side.
And their hearts believed again for the peace of men,
For a boy was born, King of all the world.
Chorus
And all the angels sang for him,
The bells of heaven rang for him
For a boy was born, King of all the world.
