All the lights 

Are shining brightly

As the choir of angels sing

Singing praise

Now in the highest

At the birth of Christ the King


Yes, all the lights 

Are shining brightly

As the choir of angels sing

Singing praise

Now in the highest

At the birth of Christ the King


Open my eyes

O heart believe

The wonder of that Christmas night

Be born in me


Sing again the sacred song

Of how that star lit up the sky

And how this world lost in the darkness

Felt the hope of heaven?s holy light


Open my eyes

O heart believe

The wonder of that Christmas night

Be born in me


All the lights are shining brightly 

At the glory of the King

All the lights are shining brightly 

For the glory of Your name


We hold a flame in our hearts now

Say a prayer that in this world

All these lights, these Christmas lights

Would shine for You 

And You alone


All the lights are shining brightly 

At the birth of Christ the King

All the lights are shining brightly 

For the glory of Your name
