We were just watching the sheep that night.

Until we saw a bright light

It was an angel telling us so

That we have a ways to go

He told us to follow a star.

That would lead us afar.

To find a baby lying in a manger.

There would be no one with anger.

We followed that star shining so bright,

On a journey through the night

We arrived at the manger to see the child.

Who was peacefully sleeping for a while

We saw others bearing gifts.

But we had nothing to give

We sat there, admiring the beauty we saw.

Oh, what a thought.

This is Christ, our king, our savior.

Lying there in that manger.

It was such a wonderful sight to see

It brought so much joy to me.
