Did you hear the angels sing on that special night?
Did heavens arches resound with that chorus sweet?
Were you with the shepherds as they saw the light
When the Saviour come to earth, his purpose to meet?
Did you run rejoicing through the streets of Bethlehem,
Your heart filled with joy, your face alight with love?
Did you tell all you met what happened, where and when
Of how the angels sang to you from heaven up above?
Was the stable cold and dark with animals all around?
Did He open His little eyes and gaze into your face?
Was there peace and sweet tranquillity to be found
In that lowly stable, where He lay in perfect grace?
I love to read the story and I pretend that I am there,
Looking up to heaven as angels sing their joyful song.
Look how fas I run to Bethlehem and be so aware
Of gazing at my Saviour, worshipping with the throng.
