Author: Natalie Sleeth, 1930-1992 Hymnal: Worship and Rejoice #215 (2003) Meter: Irregular First Line: Were you there, were you there on that Christmas night Lyrics: 1 Were you there, were you there on that Christmas night,
when the world was filled with a holy light?
Were you there to behold
when the wonder foretold came to earth?
2 Did you see, did you see how they hailed him King,
with the gifts so rare that they chose to bring?
Did you see how they bowed,
as they praised him aloud at his birth?
3 Did you hear how the choirs of angels sang
at the glory of the sight?
Did you hear how the bells of heaven rang
all through the night?
4 Did you know, did you know it was God's own Son,
the salvation of the world begun?
Did you know it was love
that was sent from above to the earth? Scripture: Luke 2:14 Languages: English Tune Title: JUXTAPOSITION
