The Angels Cried

They came from near, they came from far

Following a distant star to where he'd lay

Not being sure of what it meant

But knowing it was heaven sent, they made 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



And the creatures gathered round

And didn't make a sound and the angels cried



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 angels cried

And the angels cried
