Once upon a winter's day
In a field by the still of the dark
A baby lay in the wood and hay
And His love warmed the Winter Heart

No throne, no crown, no revelry
For the one called "Prince of Peace"
What has been foretold she now beholds
And He sleeps in her arms so deep
He sleeps in her arms so deep

Now the older days have passed away
He has come to make us new
Through His love and pain, this Son to reign
In the beauty of grace and truth
In the beauty of grace and truth

How vast the sky, angels on high
Sing their praises unto the Son
The Eastern star brings men from afar
The Messiah has finally come
The Messiah has finally come

In the beauty of Grace
In the beauty of Truth
In the beauty of Love
