Shepherds come to worship
Angels sing Gloria
Wake up the world, the King has come
Oh let heaven, heaven and nature sing
Oh let heaven, heaven and nature sing
Oh let heaven, heaven and nature sing
Wake up the world, Wake up the world,
Wake up the world, the king has come
Joseph smiles at Mary
The baby falls asleep
Wake up the world, the king has come
Oh let heaven, heaven and nature sing
Oh let heaven, heaven and nature sing
Oh let heaven, heaven and nature sing
Wake up the world, Wake up the world,
Wake up the world, the king has come
Son of God
Love's Pure light
Wake up the world, the king has come
