UNTO YOU THIS NIGHT

     D
On a night so long ago
       A
By the light of one bright star
    Bm              A            G
Two weary travelers far from Galilee
     D
Took refuge in a stable
        A
Where a little child was born
   Bm                A               G
To bring the gift of love to you and me
         Em                               A
When the angels told the shepherds of His birth
      Em                            A
There came a great rejoicing on the earth


Chorus:
         G             Em         D
And they sang glory to god in the highest
Em            A               D F# A
 Dawning that first Christmas morn
         G/E       D                Bm
Peace on earth and tidings of great joy
    Em            A                D    G/A
For unto you this night a child is born


    D
And lo these many years since then
     A
That ancient star still guides us
    Bm            A                G
And now again our Christmas voices ring
D
Blessed we are and safe at home
     A
With loved ones here beside us
    Bm               A               G
And in the still and silent night we sing
        Em                               A
How the angels told the shepherds of His birth
          Em                            A
And there came a great rejoicing on the earth

Chorus:
