DIt was on a starry night
When the hGills were bright,
Earth lay slDeeping, sBmleeping calm and sEmtillA  
Then A7in a cDattle shed,
    D7            G   Gm*
In a manger bed,
A boy was bDorn, KAing of all the wDorld.
[Chorus]
And all the angels sDang for Him,
                   D7             G   Gm*
The bells of heaven rang for Him,
For a boy was bDorn, KAing of all the wDorld.
And all the angelDs sang for Him,
                   D7             G   Gm*
The bells of heaven rang for Him,
For a boy was bDorn, KAing of all the wDorld.
[Verse 2]
Soon the shepherds cDame that way
Where the bGaby lay
And were knDeeling, kBmneeling by His Emside.A  
And their hA7earts beliDeved again
       D7            G   Gm*
For the peace of men,
For a boy was bDorn, KAing of all the wDorld.
[Chorus]
And all the angels sDang for Him,
                   D7             G   Gm*
The bells of heaven rang for Him,
For a boy was bDorn, KAing of all the wDorld.
And all the angelDs sang for Him,
                   D7             G   Gm*
The bells of heaven rang for Him,
For a boy was bDorn, KAing of all the wDorld.
