I saw a strange sign burning in the heavens
One winter night
O, tidings of comfort and joy
When the world was dark and the sky was awash
With pale moonlight
I saw a dragon, a maiden, and a baby boy
O, a dragon, a maiden, and a baby boy
She was clothed with the sun and the moon
And the silver starlight
In her labor pains lifted up her cry
She gave birth to a heavenly child
That cold winter night
But the dragon lay in wait for the baby boy
O the dragon lay in wait for the baby boy
But God rest ye, all ye merry Christian friends
Hear the heavens ringing out with joy
The earth resounds with praise that will never end
For the dragon was trampled by the baby boy
O the dragon was trampled by the baby boy
The dragon lashed with his tail and his teeth
To swallow the child
A third of the stars fell from the sky
The maiden fled through the darkness of the night
Off into to the wild
And the angles came to rescue her baby boy
O the angels came to rescue her baby boy
Then I saw a war break out in the heavens
All across the night sky
The dragon come to kill and to destroy
The host of heaven came out to meet him
And they raised the battle cry
And they cast him down with the love of the baby boy
O they cast him down with the love of the baby boy
So: God rest ye, all ye merry Christian friends
Hear the heavens ringing out with joy
The earth resounds with praise that will never end
For the dragon was trampled by the baby boy
O the dragon was trampled by the baby boy
Now have come the salvation and the power of our God
The accuser of his children is cast down
We have triumphed over him
By the truth and the blood of a lamb
So rejoice! You heavenlies rejoice!
The Messiah is that Maiden’s Baby Boy
O Messiah is that Maiden’s Baby Boy
Now the dragon still is seeking to devour the maiden
In the wilderness
But she was given eagles wings with which to fly
Cause the dragon is defeated but the battle still is raging
For hope and peace
And the love of that glorious baby Boy
So: God rest ye, all ye merry Christian friends
Hear the heavens ringing out with joy
The earth resounds with praise that will never end
For the dragon was trampled by the baby boy
And the dragon is trampled by that baby boy
And the dragon will be trampled by that baby boy
The Dragon, the Maiden and the Baby Boy, a song
