[Verse] Once in the town of Bethlehem light hit the stable ground A child was born in humble hay with heavenly love profound Ancient words spoke of this day the prophecy was clear Heir of David's noble line the time of hope is here [Verse 2] Shepherds watching flocks by night saw angels in the sky "Glory be" the heavens sang the Savior's cry was nigh Wise men traveled from afar with treasures in their hands Following the brightest star to Bethlehem's holy sands [Chorus] The star has risen in the night pointing to the dawn The King of Kings a baby child as holy men had drawn In Bethlehem the prophecy fulfilled from days of yore Our Savior's born in David's line forever to adore [Verse 3] Peace was whispered through the wind love in every stone In a manger lies the King whose kingdom will be shown Promises of olden times now resting in His smile Bethlehem the chosen town to host this sacred child [Bridge] Healer of our broken hearts light that never fades Guiding us through trials and starts in endless great parades Emmanuel God with us now in swaddling clothes and hay The ancient prophecies ignite this holy Christmas day [Chorus] The star has risen in the night pointing to the dawn The King of Kings a baby child as holy men had drawn In Bethlehem the prophecy fulfilled from days of yore Our Savior's born in David's line forever to adore
