Em (022000@1)                                 DThe (xx0232@1)dawn of peace Christmas Eve, the final night the world would sleep,
CFearful (x32010@1)of the dark, but there was a shining star leading
Em (022000@1)                              DWise (xx0232@1)men to a humble place, where they would find the Gift of Grace,

Verse 2: (Same as verse 1)
Hearts would quake on Christmas Day, as they looked upon the Savior's face,
God became a man; they could reach and touch His hands.
The hands that made the blind to see, that carried the weight of suffering,
That washed away our sins, so we could be born again.
