The angel said unto them,
Luke 2:10–11Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

The angels sang one starry night,
Good news for you, good news for me;
They filled the sky with glory bright,
Good news for you and me.
Refrain
Hark! hark! hark!
Good news for you and me;
For Jesus came that starry night,
Good news for you and me.
Glad music fell from harps of gold,
Good news for you, good news for me;
The sweetest story ever told,
Good news for you and me.
Refrain
He loves us more than we can say,
Good news for you, good news for me;
He lives for us this Christmas day,
Good news for you and me.
