Verse 2
The shepherds said, when all of the angels left,
"Let us go and see this Child of God.
Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing,
This thing that made the angels of the Lord to sing!"
So they did go to Bethlehem that night,
Just to see, and praise the Lamb of God.
Oh, on this night there was no need to fear,
For this was the Good News for all the world to hear.
Chorus
"For today a savior has been born to all.
He's Christ the Lord!"
They found the Baby wrapped up in swaddling clothes
In a manger and they knew He's the one!
The shepherds left and told all that they had seen,
On that night, and they were praising God.
"All glory be to God in Heaven
And peace and His good will to ev'ry person on earth!"
