1 There's a bright sky over Bethlehem, where shepherds watch upon the hill: and the heavens ring as angels sing of peace on earth and God's goodwill! 2 There's a Saviour come to Bethlehem, a baby laid upon the hay: in a stable bare no comfort where the Christ is born this holy day. 3 There's a star high over Bethlehem the wise men start upon the road: bearing gold and myrrh and incense rare they come to find the Son of God. 4 There's a sign for us in Bethlehem, for we rejoice at Christmastide to receive our Lord, God's living Word, our love, our light, our friend, our guide!
