Oh what innocence Sleeping in a manger Under dreamless skies See the newborn king Trading every glory For a silent night
Here is the promise we have waited for He will not leave us in the dark
He will bear our weight He will wear our shame Come lift him high Behold the savior Jesus Christ Law of love and light Come lift him high Behold the savior
Veiled deity Praise of every angel Shepherds bowing low Sweet humility Mercy as a baby God in flesh and bone
Here is the promise we have waited for He will not leave us in the dark
Here is the promise we have waited for He will not leave us in the dark He is the promise we have waited for The cry of every searching heart
He will bear our weight He will wear our shame Come lift him high Behold the savior Jesus christ Law of love and light
