A peaceful night, a piercing light,
the heavens open wide
An angel's word the wisemen heard
ring gently through the night
Darkness disappeared, Heaven drew them near
Filled with mystery, hearts of faith,
they blindly followed to His place
[Chorus]
And the star led to life through
a Child born that night
Heaven's home now our own
[Or: Heaven's throne, now our home]
On a night filled with wonder
when a star led to life
So far from home, a foreign throne,
His wisdom yet unknown
And gifts they bring a silent king,
a treasure now their own
They'd never seen the Saviour's face
or felt His warm embrace
The heart of love they met that night
beneath the sky and pale moonlight
Repeat Chorus
[Bridge]
Heaven reached our humanness
divinely touched our emptiness
But now he dreams as angels sing
[Or: And now He sleeps as angels sing]
and Mary holds the new born King
Repeat Chorus
