The Night the Angels Came
THE NIGHT THE ANGELS CAME
On a dark and lonely night in Bethlehem
A multitude of the Heavenly Hosts
Visited with shepherds in a field
To proclaim news of a special birth
A King had been born in a stable nearby
And laid in a manger for a bed
The shepherds marveled at this great news
They turned to each other and said
Let us go and see for ourselves
This miracle that we've been foretold
And so they went to the stable
Wondering what they would behold
It was just as the angels had told them
For there on a soft bed of hay
A baby was sleeping soundly
So the shepherds knelt to pray
They praised God for all they had seen
Their lives would never be the same
They made known the birth of the Savior
The night the angels came
