What a night, what a night, what a very special night
See the star in the sky shining oh so bright
See the shepherds by the fire
See the wise men follow the star
Knowing not what’s to come this very special night
Mary and Joseph travelled oh so many miles
They awaited the birth of their first child
Looking for a room at the inn
There was no room for them within
A stable would be there room for the night
The shepherds were startled by an Angelic light
Do not be afraid echoed through the night
I bring good tidings of Joy
Peace on earth for girls and boys
And a host of Angels Loud Hosannas sing
What a night, what a night, what a very special night
See the star in the sky shining oh so bright
- See the shepherds by the fire
See the wise men follow the star
Knowing not what’s to come this very special night
They came with their flocks to find that babe
Wrapped in some clothes and laid in the hay
They knelt down to worship Him
Assured He’s the coming King
Then for a while they would worship and stay
Mary and Joseph knew their child was special
They’d both been told of His coming arrival
But they held their peace
When the shepherds did speak
And asked why they were summoned by angels
What a night, what a night, what a very special night
See the star in the sky shining oh so bright
See the shepherds by the fire
See the wise men follow the star
Knowing not what’s to come this very special night
The wise men arrived from the east they had come
They knew that the star was a sign from above
Their gifts they did bear
Gold, incense and myrrh
They knelt down to worship this child filled with love
Thus, the scene was set
No one would forget
That the Son of God came as a babe
And for many years
Mary shed her tears
For she knew what a price he would pay
What a night, what a night, what a very special night
See the star in the sky shining oh so bright
See the shepherds by the fire
See the wise men follow the star
Knowing not what’s to come this very special night
The Psalmist
