9. Midnight Midnight – there’s the strangest feeling in the air tonight, There’s something going on but I can’t make it out, I wonder what it’s all about?

Chorus Tonight’s events were planned in heaven, The greatest story ever penned. Heaven and earth have come together, And life has come to Bethlehem.

10. Angels – taking care of things that only they can do, Are waiting in the wings to bring the joyful news, It’s going to turn the world around.

Chorus Tonight’s events were planned in heaven, The greatest story ever penned. Heaven and earth have come together, And life has come to Bethlehem.

11. Shepherds – minding their own business looking after things, Are startled by an unexpected happening, As angel choirs appear to them. Wise men – taking charts and telescopes and compasses Investigate the star that takes them travelling, Until they come to Bethlehem.

Oh and Love shone down Over the hills and over the valleys, Oh and Love shone down Over the world.

18. Somebody spoke to me, I knew it was an angel

21. Away in a manger Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
the little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay,
the little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.

22. The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, but little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes. I love you, Lord Jesus, I know you are near to love and protect me, till morning is here.

23. () Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask you to stay close by me for ever, and love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children in your tender care, prepare us for heaven, to live with you there.

Son of the most high God. (Repeat)

Oh come to us, abide with us
