Tonight

Kings and shepherds make their way

Straight to where a baby lay.

Rich and poor and lonely

Bow before this sight.

A star has led them to this place.

The Word that’s been echoing through space

Becomes a child tonight.

Chorus

Light to shine in the darkest night,

Light to make all the wrong things right,

Light to show everyone the way,

Light to shine where a virgin lay,

Tonight.

Angel voices fill the air.

Angel wings are everywhere.

Light so bright it’s blinding

Shepherds shake with fright.

A warmth begins to flood the hill

“Fear not! Peace to you – good will

Comes to earth tonight.”

Chorus

Light will be so bright.

It will shine through the darkest night

Send down Your holy light.

Star of David, the prophet’s star

Yahweh – God come to where we are.

Star to mark the Messiah’s birth.

Star of heaven now touches earth.

Chorus
