Lyrics Judy Collins – All On A Wintry Night
Text:
All On A Wintry Night
A bright star was shining down
Upon the little town of Bethlehem
The shepherds in their fields
Of angels singing in Jerusalem
The wise men made their way
Every traveling night and day
With myrrh and frankincense and gifts of gold
While Mary, meek and mild
Labored with her first born child
And Joseph sheltered with her from the cold
The angels and the animals
Were kneeling to His glory
To praise the Son of God
Come once upon a time
The promised Prince of Peace
The babe in swaddling clothes
In his mothers arms did sleep
Embraced within a lullaby of light
The angels sang on high
The song of heaven bright
Redemption came upon that blessed night
The trembling voice of shepherd
The harp that played a melody
And Joseph knew among the straw
The glory of divinity
The promised prince of peace
So let us sing his praise
The baby King of light
His promise is renewed
Upon this Christmas night
For you, for me, for shepherd King and all
The glory of this humble verse
Relieves us of our poverty
And we are rich in blessing
For He was born for you and me
The promised Prince of Peace
