Sheng Ye Qing, Sheng Ye Jing / Holy Night, B
Refrain:
Holy night, blessed night,
1. Stars shine brightly, earth is still.
Hills and valleys, field and woodlands,
All surround the small town Bethlehem.
In a manger Christ the Lord sleeps.
(Refrain)
2. Angels sing praise, shepherds fear,
Earth and heaven ring with praises,
Alleluia all creation sings.
Tell the good news: Christ is born now.
(Refrain)
3. Christ has come down, dwells with us.
Sacrifice, love, peace and justice
Shine upon us like the morning sun.
Grace and glory bless the whole world.
