It was just another quiet night

is born a savior. You will find Him

lying in a manger, in a lowly manger.

Oh, how His humility shows!

VERSE 2:

Suddenly, there was with the angel

a multitude of Heavenly Hosts

praising God. Grace, their song did foretell.

searching for the One God did send.

We surely had to find Him.

With hearts we ourseves defiled

with our heinous sin, we were exiled

from You. But that we could be reconciled,

You bore our sin, our shame

upon the cross, a wooden frame...

an altar for the final sacrifice

for all our sin, shame, and vice.

Rising again after three days

you brought new life, new ways.

If we humbly repent and surrender

to You, Lord, you will render

us to be Holy, righteous

remembering no more the sins of us.

And eternal life, You will give us.
