[Verse 1]
Long, long ago
In a world dark and cold
The night so still
Winter's chill
One bright star was shining
On a bed made of hay
In a manger he lay
The shepherds came
They knew his name
King of kings, a brand new day

[Chorus]
They saw the light in the darkness
It shines on us in tenderness
It brings out the hope that's in all of us
May it shine its light on you this Christmas night

[Verse 2]
On this Christmas day
May that star light your way
This Christmas Eve I still believe
That same star still shines on me

[Chorus]
I saw the light in the darkness
It shines on us in tenderness
It brings out the hope that's in all of us
May it shine its light on you this Christmas night
[Outro]
May it shine its light on you this Christmas night
