It was not a silent night, there was blood on the ground 

You could hear a woman cry in the alleyway that night on the streets of David's town 

And the stable was not clean and the cobblestones were cold 

And little Mary full of grace with tears upon her face had no mother's hand to hold 

It was a labor of pain, it was a cold sky above 

But for the girl on the ground in the dark with every beat of her beautiful heart 

It was a labor of love 

Noble Joseph by her side, callused hands and weary eyes 

No midwives to be found on the streets of David's town in the middle of the night 

So he held her and he prayed, shafts of moonlight on his face 

But the baby in her womb, he was the maker of the moon 

He was the Author of the Faith that could make the mountains move

It was a labor of pain, it was a cold sky above 

But for the girl on the ground in the dark with every beat of her beautiful heart 

It was a labor of love 

For little Mary full of grace, with tears on her face 

It was a labor of love 

It was not a silent night, on the streets of David's town
