SOUND ASLEEP
Amy Carlock, Nancy Blandford



VERSE 1
Long, long ago on a deep winter's night
High in the heavens a star burned so bright
While in a stable a sweet baby lay
Wrapped with a blanket in a manger of hay

CHORUS
Oh what a wonder, Oh what a mystery,
Born as our savior, Jesus the Prince of peace
Angels sang hallelujah, glory to God on high
While the world was sound asleep,
Praises broke through the hush of the night

VERSE 2
Up on the hillside guarding their flock
Under that same star, shepherds kept watch
When out of the darkness, on that holy night
Heaven touched earth with a radiant light

CHORUS
Oh what a wonder, Oh what a mystery,
Born as our Savior, Jesus the Prince of Peace
Angels sang hallelujah, glory to God on high
While the world was sound asleep,
Praises broke through the hush of the night

BRIDGE
Awake, Bethlehem, Arise from your dreams (sleep)
Awake Bethlehem come meet Your newborn king
