The Night Before Christmas Lyrics

It was the night before Christmas and all through the
world
Everything looked like business as usual
Shepherds sat on a hillside looking up at the stars
While the world fell asleep unaware just how deep
Was the darkness the night before Christmas

And the night before Christmas it seemed to be just a
night
But the wind blew like something was coming
And like children with secrets that they're bursting to
tell
The cedars danced in the breeze while all of nature it
seemed
Held its breath on the night before Christmas And hope, hope long awaited
The hope of the ages
Would break with the dawn
And the song that all of creation was anticipating
Would start with a baby's first cry

And on the night before Christmas Mary laid down to rest
While Joseph, he paced the floor praying
And in an everyday stable, in an everyday town
In the hours to come God would wrap Himself up
And come down from heaven and the world would forever be
changed
After the night before Christmas
