The Angels Cried Lyrics

(Harley Allen/Deborah Nims)

 

 They came from near,they came from far 

 Following a distance star to where He lay 

 Not being sure of what it mean,but 

 Knowing it was their way 

 

 And the creatures gathered 'round 

 And didn't make a sound 

 And the angels cried 

 

 The angels knew what was to come 

 The reason God had sent His son 

 From up above 

 It filled their hearts with joy to see and 

 Knowing of His destiny 

 Came tears of love 

 

 I've often thought about that night 

 And wondered if they realized 

 That star so bright 

 Was sent to tell all the land 

 The Son of God would soon become 

 The Son of Man 

 

 And the creatures gathered 'round 

 And didn't make a sound 

 And the angels cried 

 

 And the Angel Cried 

 And the Angel Cried
