Tonight in the fields of Bethlehem lay

A herd of sheep, next to their hay.

The night sky so peaceful above

I close my eyes and dream.

I dream of an angel

So joyous and bright,

She brings me good news

Of a star in the night.

Under that star

A newborn is resting,

He is the Son of God

A true world blessing.

Go to him now

Bring one of your sheep,

To see him in a manger

Fast asleep.

He will be called Messiah

Prince of Peace,

The kings will fear him

For he will never cease.

Awake now, it’s time

The Lord awaits you,

Your everlasting Father

He who loves you.
