Angels In the Night

there is a child born in Bethlehem
                   a gift for all to come see
            for the Angels from the realms of Glory
         have worked a great and mighty wonder for thee

        as lately we watched as with gladness men of old
                     all through the night
              as all my heart this night rejoices
                    for a baby just like you
               
                this is a day a day of Glory
            as we celebrate the birthday of a king
             for the Angels we have heard on high
                are the Angels watching over me
