Introduction

All Verses

1. There was starlight on the hillside, And one star bent very low Till it passed above a stable On that night so long ago.

2. There were shepherds on the hillside On that night in Bethlehem. Heav’nly hosts appeared, proclaiming Joyous tidings unto them.

3. There was Jesus in the manger, Born that night in Bethlehem. And the shepherds left the hillside, And they came to worship him.
