Just before the silent night That radiant night, O holy night Just before the angel choir sang 'Joy to the world' Travellers rushing everywhere Scared to find no room there Expectant couple turned away, sent out in the dark After all your dreams have died A tiny seed can spring to life Hold on, the light is breaking through Don't close your eyes Just because the world we see Has lost its heart, is cold and mean Just because the powerful oppress those in need Doesn't mean the day won't come when justice flows for everyone So we wait in Advent hope just before dawn After all your dreams have died A tiny seed can spring to life Hold on, the light is breaking through Don't close your eyes Hold on, love is here for you about to arrive Hold on Hold on Love is coming Love is near Love is coming No need for fear Even when our dreams have died A tiny seed can spring to life Hold on, the light is breaking through Don't close your eyes Hold on, love is here for you about to arrive Hold on Just before our silent night Christmas night, O Holy night Shoppers rushing everywhere To find something more When everything we need was found Long ago in that little town Out of Bethlehem has come A Shepherd for all
