The night was cold They had traveled so far Mary and Joseph knew deep in their hearts This was the night The awaited Messiah would come A gift from above Oh, star so bright Oh, heavenly light You filled Bethlehem's sky with splendor Oh, God's own Son Oh, innocent One You have made this a night to remember, oh Made this a night to remember There at the manger They knelt at His feet The Baby Jesus so peacefully sleeps This is the night The awaited Messiah has come A gift of God's love Oh, star so bright Oh, heavenly light You filled Bethlehem's sky with splendor Oh, God's own Son Oh, innocent One You have made this a night to remember, oh Made this a night to remember Oh holy night, the stars are brightly shining It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth Long lay the world in sin and error pining Till He appears and the song felt its worth Oh, baby Jesus, You have made this a night Made this a night to remember
