We love signing this song - it's a Christmas school concert classic! It's got a lovely pace for signing and features so many signs for the festive season.
Here are the lyrics with Makaton sign transcription - please note that we have used the alternative sign for MANGER which we thought was simpler than the usual one we use:
It was on a starry night (STAR / NIGHT)
When the hills were bright (HILL / BRIGHT *GLOW)
Earth lay sleeping, sleeping calm and still (WORLD / SLEEP / CALM / QUIET)
Then in a cattle shed (COW / STABLE)
In a manger bed (MANGER / BED)
A boy was born, King of all the world (BOY / BORN / KING / ALL / WORLD)
And all the angels sang for Him (ANGEL / SING)
The bells of heaven rang for Him (CHURCH BELLS / HEAVEN)
For a boy was born, King of all the world (BOY / BORN / KING / ALL / WORLD)
And all the angels sang for Him (ANGEL / SING)
The bells of heaven rang for Him (CHURCH BELLS / HEAVEN)
For a boy was born, King of all the world (BOY / BORN / KING / ALL / WORLD)
Soon the shepherds came that way (SHEPHERD / CAME)
Where the baby lay (BABY / LIE DOWN)
And were kneeling, kneeling by His side (KNEEL / NEAR)
And their hearts believed again (HEART / BELIEVE / AGAIN)
For the peace of men (PEACE / MEN)
For a boy was born, King of all the world (BOY / BORN / KING / ALL / WORLD)
And all the angels sang for Him (ANGEL / SING)
The bells of heaven rang for Him (CHURCH BELLS / HEAVEN)
For a boy was born, King of all the world (BOY / BORN / KING / ALL / WORLD)
And all the angels sang for Him (ANGEL / SING)
The bells of heaven rang for Him (CHURCH BELLS / HEAVEN)
For a boy was born, King of all the world (BOY / BORN / KING / ALL / WORLD)
