Betty S. Jordan ~ Harold Timmons
| (1) | The wonder of all Heaven was laid upon a manger bed, There was no room in the Inn, for to lay his little head; Then upon a bright moonlit night, the angels came from upon high, As shepherds were by their flock, the angels lit up the sky. |
| (2) | They heard sweet angel voices, "Peace on earth,
good will to men," The shepherds came nigh to see, the wonder at the stable inn; And as they came to offer praise, at the miracle of the Christ child, And Mary kept in her heart these things she knew all the while. |
| (Chorus) | Once upon a starry night, the light of the world was
born, Came in the form of a child, on that first Christmas morn'; Oh the greatest gift was given, the Son of God from on high, Sent by God the Father once upon a starry night. |
| (Tag) | Glory to God, in the highest, and on Earth, goodwill
from on high, The greatest news was given, once up on a starry night. |
