8320. The Angels Sang One Starry Night

1 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.

2 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]

3 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. [Refrain]
