Once Upon lyrics

[Verse 1]
Once upon a midnight clear
Heaven’s song broke through the air
Peace and goodwill toward men
Born now in Bethlehem

[Verse 2]
Once upon a bed of straw
Slept the Sovereign Son of God
Lord of the universe
Breathing the dust of earth

[Chorus]
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, our Messiah
Name above every name, gloria in the highest

[Verse 3]
Once upon a splintered cross
Jesus died to rescue us
All of our shame and sin
Nailed to the tree with Him

[Verse 4]
Once upon a brilliant day
Christ the Conqueror was raised
Heaven and nature sing
“Praise to the King of kings!”
