The star awakes its purpose awaits
today the day of fulfillment,
to lead these men to the new born king
somewhere in Bethlehem.
Their anxiety builds, "This is something big,
we've got to follow its lead.
A journey from the East to a house, not a palace.
Who ever will believe?"
Out in the fields shepherds converse
as they keep watch o'er their flocks of sheep at night. When suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared with glorious, radiant light.
"Don't be afraid, I've got good news that will bring great joy to all the people!"
Paralyzed with fear they could not speak,
but nodded all the same.
"A savior is born in Bethlehem, Jesus is his name!"
They found the babe just as they were told
in a manger sound asleep.
They rejoiced and went to spread the news,
this message was too good to keep.
It troubled the king when he heard,
but he did not understand.
This babe was God come to earth
to fulfill God's redemption plan.
Shepherds rejoiced, the wise men worshiped,
a host of angels sang praise.
All this for the babe in Bethlehem born,
the Savior King, the Ancient of Days.
