A Glorious Night
It was a beautiful night indeed
So clear and crisp was the midnight air
As two weary travelers searched around
Finding no vacancies, they looked elsewhere.
A town's innkeeper got wind of their need
His heart was deeply touched
Seeing the mother so near to birth
Offered his stable, knowing it wasn't much
Tired and weary but grateful in heart
Not knowing the fullness of God's plan
Now waited for the arrival of His birth
Bringing new life to the world, through God's own hands
Even nature itself partook that night
The stars were gleaming with a heavenly glow
And the animals of the fields came in with respect
To this child from Heaven, who they did not know
The shepherds that night had a glorious surprise
As the angels announced the birth of a saviour
And a star so bright, like a guiding light
Lead the Magi from afar, bringing their gifts of treasure
There was music in the air from voices of angels
Giving glory, honor and praise, they sing
And a peaceful delight, for this first new night
From the Saviour who came, our Lord and King
