The Angels Came to Sing

There was starlight round his cradle
There was music on the air
Mary knelt to hush her baby
Joseph watched beside her there

Jesus lay in lowly manger
Sent from God to be our King
'Twas for Him the star was gleaming
And the angels came to sing

There were cattle round his cradle
Ox and lamb were standing nigh
Softest hay became his pillow
Angel song His lullaby

Jesus lay in lowly manger
Sent from God to be our King
'Twas for Him the star was gleaming
And the angels came to sing

There were shepherds round his cradle
Come to worship and adore
There were wise men on their journey
Led by heaven's brightest star

Jesus lay in lowly manger
Sent from God to be our King
And the skies were filled with glory
When the angels came to sing

Heaven watches o'er each cradle
O'er each cradle heaven smiles
For the Lord of earth and heaven
Was Himself a little child

Oh remember how that baby
Came from God to be our King
'Twas for Him the star was gleaming
And the angels came to sing
