Over two thousand years ago,
Under a starlit sky,
Many events were taking place
As the ancients had prophesied.
Chorus: And a gift was given from heaven to earth,
The everlasting light.
So let us adore the Saviour born,
Emmanuel, here tonight.
Heavenly hosts of angels,
Praising God on high,
Sang of the promised child to come,
The Saviour Jesus Christ.
Chorus: And a gift was given from heaven to earth…
Hark, now hear the angels sing,
a new King's born today.
And man will live for evermore,
because of Christmas Day
Trumpets sound and angels sing,
Listen what they say.
That man will live for evermore,
because of Christmas Day
Darkness was over Bethlehem,
Brightly the star did shine,
Showing the way to where He lay
In a manger for all to find.
Chorus: And a gift was given from heaven to earth,
The everlasting light.
So let us adore the Saviour born,
Emmanuel, here tonight.
Never before in history
Had there been such a sign,
For God was born in human form
For the sake of all mankind.
Chorus: And a gift was given from heaven to earth,
The everlasting light.
So let us adore the Saviour born,
Emmanuel, here tonight.
Hark, now hear the angels sing,
a new King's born today.
And man will live for evermore,
because of Christmas Day
Trumpets sound and angels sing,
Listen what they say.
That man will live for evermore,
because of Christmas Day
