The world
awakes all unaware
of what the night did bring
A mother's pain, a baby's cry,
a new life begins
While deathly heaven slumbers in the
shadows so dark and deep
You sweetly sleep
Oh, oh, oh, oh
In manger laid,
let dazzled shepherds seek
Whom heaven adores,
yet earth ignores
Helpless and weak, lost ancient darkness
To business stirs in the chill
of these streams
Sweetly sleep
Oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh
Oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh
Oh world awake
Shake off the mind
A greater dawn is breaking
A brighter sun
Heavens aligned
To set the world on fire
God in flesh appearing
Heaven and earth are
touching here
Receive Him now,
as you would welcome a
new -born child
Awake, my soul, and be in awe
Of what that night did bring
In David's town, the baby born
Is this world's new king?
Come see, like the shepherds
Come follow the bright guiding star
He's not far
Oh world awake, shake off the night
A greater dawn is breaking
A brighter sun, heavens drew light
To set the world on fire
God and flesh appear
Heaven and earth are touching
Here, receive it now
As you would welcome a child
Oh, world awake, shake off the night
A greater dawn is breaking,
a brighter sun
Heavens collide to set the world on fire
God and flesh appear
Heaven and earth are
touching here
Receive Him now,
as you would welcome a newborn child
God in flesh appearing
Heaven and earth are
touching here
Receive Him now,
as you would welcome a newborn
child
Receive Him now,
as you would welcome a newborn child
