Upon a Winter's Night

Rise up, Rise up, come everyone and worship your new king
And join with us in chorus, hear the choirs of Angels sing
Sweet Mary bore the son of God, a baby born of light
She gave to us the Saviour pure, upon a winter's night

The Shepherds gazed in wonder on that cold and lonely night
As Gabriel the Angel came before them bathed in light
His voice rang out like bells and choirs of Angels they did sing
A journey they must make to kneel before the new born king

Far in the East three wisemen looked upon a starry sky
The brightest star they'd ever seen shone down from Heaven high
It led them to a stable where the lowly cattle lay
They knelt before sweet Mary's child upon a bed of hay

They gathered round the Holy child who slept upon the hay
And laid their gift before him at the dawning of the day
The hopes and prayers of all good men lay just beyond the sight
Of Jesus Christ our saviour, born upon that winter's night
