The Angels Cried

(Harley Allen - Deborah Nims)

Alan Jackson & Alison Krause



(Alan)

They came from near

They came from far

Following a distant star

To where He 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.



(Alison)

The angels knew what was to come

The reason God has 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

(Both)

And the Angels cried.

(Alan)

I've often thought about that night

And wondered if they realized that star so bright

(Alison)

Was sent to tell all the land the Son of God

Would soon become the Son of man.



(Both)

And the creatures gathered 'round

And didn't make a sound

And the Angels cried.



And the Angels cried.

And the Angels cried...
