It was on a starry night
When the hills were bright
Earth lay sleeping
Sleeping calm and still
Than in a cattle shed
In a manger bed
A boy was born
King of all the world

And all the angels sang for him
The bells of heaven rang for him
For a boy was born
King of all the world
And all the angels sang for him
The bells of heaven rang for him
For a boy was born
King of all the world

Soon the shepherds came that way
Where the baby lay
And were kneeling, kneeling by his side
And their hearts believed again
For the peace of men
For a boy was born
King of all the world
