What a night, what a night, what a very special night
 See the star in the sky shining oh so bright
 See the shepherds watching their flocks
 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 watching their flocks
 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 watching their flocks
 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 watching their flocks
 See the wise men follow the star
 Knowing not what’s to come this very special night
