Born Christmas Night

Words in verses by Isaac Watts New words and music by Eric Grover Soveriegn Grace Music BORN CHRISTMAS NIGHT Verse 1 Shepherds, rejoice lift up your eyes And send your fears away News from the regions of the skies Salvation’s born today Jesus the God whom angels fear comes down to dwell with you Today he makes his entrance here, but not as monarchs do Chorus Praise to the King who was laid in a manger Praise to the child who has brought us great light Praise to the God who lived here among us Praise to God’s Son who was born Christmas night Verse 2 No gold nor purple swaddling bands Nor royal shining things A manger for His cradle stands And holds the King of kings Go, shepherds, where the infant lies and see His humble throne With tears of joy in all your eyes, go shepherds, kiss the Son Verse 3 Lord, and shall angels have their songs And men no tunes to raise? O may we loose our useless tongues When they forget to praise Glory to God that reigns above that pitied us forlorn We join to sing our Maker’s love, for there is a Savior born
