Words and Music by Brian Riecke

When the angel appeared on that lonely dark night
To the shepherds alone and afraid. The message was spoken
"The world's given light, the sins of the people to pay."
Then he opened his mouth and started to sing
The heavenly music began
Of peace on the earth and glory to God and the baby of Bethlehem.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah to the Lamb!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah to the Lamb!
Then the skies opened up and sound filled the air
As a heavenly choir joined in.
And they sang of the child in a stable so bare
Where the hope of the world would begin.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah to the Lamb!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah to the Lamb!
Then the shepherds rose up and followed the star
'Til it came to a rest overhead
And there they knelt down and worshipped the babe
With a manger and straw for a bed.
Then with trembling voice they joined with the throng
Of angels above as they sang
And as one they delivered that message of love
And together rejoiced in his name. (They sang...)
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah to the Lamb!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah to the Lamb!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah to the Lamb!
Hallelujah, Hallelu -u -jah! Hallelujah to the Lamb!
