A Child Is Born Upon This Night Lyrics

A child is born upon this night beneath a star so bright

From heaven above to earth has come the dark to save us from

This newborn babe of lowly birth brings light to all the earth

The God who once created all rests in a manger small

Now let us all with gladsome cheer go with the shepherds near

To see the crib marked by a star with Wise Men from afar

Were earth a thousand times as far crowned with gold and jewels rare

She yet were far too poor to be a cradle Lord for Thee

My heart for very joy doth leap I cannot silence keep

With angel choirs I sing along the ancient cradle song

Of peace on earth, good will to men until He comes again

To fill the world with truth and light a Child is born this night
