Upon A Winter's Night Lyrics - Cara Dillon

Rise up, rise up, come everyone, and worship your new king 

And join with us in chorus here the choirs of angels sing 

Sweet Mary bore the son of God, a baby born of light 

She gave to us a Savior pure upon a winter's night. 

The shepherds gazed in wonder on that cold and lonely night 

As Gabriel the angel came before them bathed in light 

His voice rang out like bells and choirs, of angels they did sing 

A journey they must make to kneel before the newborn king. 

Far in the East three wise-men looked upon a starry sky 

The brightest star they'd ever seen shown down from heaven high, 

It led them to a stable where the lowly cattle lay 

They knelt before sweet Mary's child upon a bed of hay. 

Rise up, rise up, come everyone, and worship your new king 

And join with us in chorus here the choirs of angels sing 

Sweet Mary bore the son of God, a baby born of light 

She gave to us a Savior pure upon a winter's night. 

They gathered round the holy child that slept upon the hay 

And lay their gifts before him at the dawning of the day, 

The hopes and prayers of all good men lay just beyond the sight 

Of Jesus Christ your Savior born upon that winter's night. 

Rise up, rise up, come everyone, and worship your new king 

And join with us in chorus here the choirs of angels sing 

Sweet Mary bore the son of God, a baby born of light 

She gave to us a Savior pure upon a winter's night. 

Rise up, rise up, come everyone, and worship your new king 

And join with us in chorus here the choirs of angels sing 

Sweet Mary bore the son of God, a baby born of light 

She gave to us a Savior pure upon a winter's night.
