It was a silent night, stars shining bright In a little town, just a humble sight
The world was still, not a sound to break Except a heart of hope, for heaven's sake
A stable low, where the cattle stayed A child was born in the bed they made
With a cry so soft, a whisper's flame It was the night, the night love came
Oh, the night love came, everything changed From the porous fields to the mountain range
A light so pure, it called our names To hold on, to hope, to be unafraid
The world found peace, and a brand new way On the night, the night love came
Shepherds watched, keeping their sheep When angels' songs woke them from sleep
Told them to go, see the baby lay In the manger warm, where hope would stay
They ran through fields, through winter's breath To find the child who conquered death
In the haste room bed, they found their claim It was the night, the night love came
Oh, the night love came, everything changed From the porous fields to the mountain range
A light so pure, it called our names To hold on, to hope, to be unafraid
The world found peace, and a brand new way On the night, the night love came
On the night, the night love came
Wise men traveled far and wide Guided by the star they spied
With gifts in hand, they bowed in awe Of the King who'd save us all
Now every year when Christmas falls We hear the bells and the joyful calls
But let's remember why it rings A Savior born, the King of Kings
Oh, the night love came, everything changed From the porous fields to the mountain range
A light so pure, it called our names To hold on, to hope, to be unafraid
The world found peace, and a brand new way On the night, the night love came
Yes, it was the night, the night love came
A world forever, never the same
A world forever, never the same.
