How brightly shone the moon that night
But it couldn't dim the holy star
And wise men came to Bethlehem
Bringing precious gifts from afar
Would a rich man leave his home
A thousand miles away
To see a pauper's birth?
Would he risk his very life?
It could only be to see God's son on earth
How crowded was the town that night?
Mary and her child found little peace
Some shepherds rushed to Bethlehem
Though they were afraid, they went to see
Would a shepherd leave his flock
To the wolves and thieves
To see a pauper's birth?
If an angel told them so
It could only be to see God's son on earth
How restless was the King that night
Just a new-born child
Or holy flame?
King Herod was afraid of Him
Shook him to his soul to hear His name
Could a mighty king be scared
That he would lose his throne
For a pauper's birth?
Were the children slaughtered then
For Herod's fear of facing God
Through God's son on earth?
How brightly shone the moon that night
But it couldn't dim the holy birth
And greater love man cannot know
A father sent his son to die on earth
He came into this barren world
Gave a glimpse of heaven
And grace we don't deserve
Man was then as man is now
Lined the roads to Calvary
To see God's son on earth
