The Hope of Bethlehem by Michael McCormic Jr. Lyrics

The night is dark, the air is cold
A shepherd's life is lonely
They have to watch their flocks by night
To make sure they don’t stray

Their family's home asleep in bed
For them a rock to rest their head
It's just another silent night
On the hills of Bethlehem

Forgotten and alone at night
While the world is sleeping
It seems that there’s no end in sight
Of the watch that they must keep

There's no big crowd to cheer for them
For when they save a poor lost lamb
It's just another silent night
On thе hills of Bethlehem

And thеn a light is shining bright
As music fills the air
The angels of the Lord came down
To meet those shepherds there
Good tidings of great joy they bring
In Bethlehem is born your king
The night's the same but all has changed
On the hills of Bethlehem

They hurry on to Bethlehem
To see the baby sleeping
They gather round to gaze in awe
Upon the face of God

This lonely and forgotten few
Became the first to hear the news
The night is dark but hope has come
To the hearts of Bethlehem

Come on Shepherds
Run with me, away to Bethlehem
To gather round on bended knee
And see the great I Am
He's wrapped in flesh
A helpless babe
Creator God in manger laid
And all because he longs to save us
Through the babe in Bethlehem

Joy floods the heavens
Peace to the earth
The lost and lonely everywhere
Know just how much they're worth
The night is dark, the air is cold
The shepherds life is lonely
They have to watch their lambs by night
To make sure that they don't stray

But one dark night, without a sound
The precious lamb came down
The hope of lonely hearts is found
In the babe in Bethlehem
The hope of every heart is found
In the babe of Bethlehem
In the babe of Bethlehem
