A Manger Filled with Love ========================= w&m: Sally DeFord, 1998 [Verse 1] The shadows fell o'er Bethlehem, and o'er the waiting world, And darkness gathered 'round the shepherds biding in the fields. When in a moment song and splendor rent the skies above, And the night was filled with wonders, and a manger was filled with Love. [Verse 2] {Men} Ah, that I had seen the shepherds come to seek the Lamb, {Women} And looked with them on Jesus' face, and touched the infant hands. {All} And felt with them the Father's peace descending from above, When their hearts were filled with wonder at a manger filled with Love. [Verse 3] I need not see the Holy Child, to know him for my King, I need not hear the voice of heaven's host re-echoing, For I have felt the Spirit's witness whispered from above, And my heart is filled with wonder at a manger filled with Love. [Coda] {Men} A voice as pure as angel song has spoken from above, {All} And my heart is filled with wonder at a manger filled with Love.
