The Night Was Dark and Stormy

The night was dark and stor­my

It was the win­ter wild;

But in a hum­ble sta­ble

There lay a ho­ly child.

And wise men from afar

Came jour­ney­ing to wor­ship

Led by a won­drous star.

And in the fields the shep­herds

Were watch­ing thro’ the night

When sud­den­ly around them

There shone a ra­di­ance bright

As though it were the dawn;

And an­gels sang to­ge­ther

That Je­sus Christ was born.

And Je­sus brought glad tid­ings

To all the sons of men—

In ev­ery child for­ev­er

God’s love is born again.

So on this Christ­mas morn

In ev­ery heart that loves Him

The dear Christ child is born.
