The First Christmas Eve Lyrics

Bethlehem sleeps as the stars in the sky

Slowly reveal their flickering light

But one shines alone as a brilliant guide

It's the night of the first Christmas Eve

Shepherds watch over their flocks in the field

Silently sharing an evening meal

No angel chorus awakens their zeal

On the night of the first Christmas Eve

Creation is longing for hope

Prophecies waiting to finally unfold

Did anyone dare to believe such a thing

The night of that first Christmas Eve

An innkeeper wakes at a knock on his door

A traveler's there, tired and worn

He offers him one final bed on the floor

On the night of the first Christmas Eve

Mary and Joseph are miles away

Their journey will take at least one more day

He's keeping her warm as she silently prays

On the night of the first Christmas Eve

The Savior and hope of the world

Rests in the womb of a young Hebrew girl

Did anyone dare to believe such a thing

The night of that first Christmas Eve

The Savior and hope of the world

Rests in the womb of a young Hebrew girl

Did anyone dare to believe such a thing

The night of that first Christmas Eve

Tomorrow a babe will be placed in a trough

A King on his way to die on a cross

No soul could imagine so precious a cost

Was waiting for you and for me

The night of that first Christmas Eve
