Judy Collins - All on a Wintry Night lyrics

All On A Wintry Night A bright star was shining down Upon the little town of Bethlehem The shepherds in their fields Were amazed at the sound 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 And make a place within our manger stall 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
