Lyrics: One holy night in Bethlehemthe air was filled with song.Angelic voices sang on highand shepherds piped along:Sing glory, glory, gloria!God's love is given birth!Be not afraid, Sing gloria,and peace to all the earth!Their music echoed through the towninto the stable stall,where Mary sang a lullabyand rocked her baby small:Sing glory, glory, gloria!God's love is given birth!Be not afraid! Sing gloria,and peace to all the earth!As Joseph touched the lamb's soft wool,and fed the donkey hay,he whistled his own happy tuneand thanked God for this day:Sing glory, glory, gloria!God's love is given birth!Be not afraid! Sing gloria,and peace to all the earth!Be still, and you will hear tonightthese melodies of old.Then join your voice in harmonyuntil the tale is told:Sing glory, glory, gloria!God's love is given birth!Be not afraid! Sing gloria,and peace to all the earth! Topics: Christmas Nativity from Luke; Women in the Bible Mary Used With Tune: WHISTLER'S TUNE Text Sources: Time Now to Gather
