The World Slept On

Under the watch of the eastern starlight
Shepherds waiting in the twilight
The world we know was changing
The world we know was changing
Well all of the slept on, unknowing
There was the sound of Mary breathing her son’s name
The world was changing
The world we know was changing
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Things will never be the same
Peace on earth, goodwill to men
But the world slept on
Well, all of the heavens watched in wonder
Our Lord slept in a manger
The world we know was changing
The world we know was changing
With every finite heart still sleeping
Our Lord’s was softly beating
Keeping time with His creation
The world we know was changing
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Things will never be the same
Peace on earth, goodwill to men
But the world slept on
But the world slept on
Glory
To God in the highest
Let there be peace on the earth
Goodwill to men
Glory
To God in the highest
Let there be peace on the earth
Goodwill to men
Goodwill to men
Glory
To God in the highest
Let there be peace on the earth
Goodwill to men
Goodwill to men
Glory
To God in the highest
Let there be peace on the earth
Goodwill to men
Goodwill to men
Wondering children
Peace on earth, goodwill to men
But the world slept on
The world slept on
