This was no ordinary night For lying in a lonely manger Was the holy child As he laid there so meek and mild The heaven and earth were filled with praise For everywhere on this night It was a holy night There was a virgin girl, who lived in Galilee And a Jewish carpenter, who had this crazy dream That one day their son would grow up and save the world He would save us from all hurts and fears, and then be slain for us Holy was the night When Christ was born The stars shine big and bright Angels cry holy are you Lord They searched the entire town For a place to rest their heads Amazed by what they found An abandoned barn instead Who would have thought a manger boy would save the world He would give his life and now we're covered by his blood Holy was the night When Christ was born The stars shine big and bright Angels cry holy are you Lord Oh, fall on your knees Oh hear the angel's voices Oh night (Oh night) divine (Divine) Oh night Oh yes, He was born Yes He was born Yes He was born Yes He was born Yes He was born Yes He was born What a holy night it was What a holy night it was What a holy night
