{Verse 1}
E A
On a starlit hillside, shepherds watched their sheep
E A
Slowly, David's city drifted off to sleep
F#m C#m
But to this little town of no great renown
A E A
The Lord had a promise to keep
{Verse 2}
E A
Prophets had foretold it, a mighty King would come
E A
Long awaited Ruler, God's Anointed One
F#m C#m
But the Sovereign of all looked helpless and small
A
As God gave the world His own Son
{Chorus}
E A
And who would have dreamed or ever foreseen
C#m B A
That we could hold God in our hands?
E A
The Giver of Life is born in the night
C#m B A
Revealing God's glorious plan
E A
To save the world
{Verse 3}
E A
Wondrous gift of heaven: the Father sends the Son
E A
Planned from time eternal, moved by holy love
F#m C#m
He will carry our curse and death He'll reverse
A
So we can be daughters and sons
