written by Harley Allen and Deborah Nims
They came from near,they came from farÂ
Following a distance star to where He layÂ
Not being sure of what it meant,
But knowing it was heaven sent, they made their way
>And the creatures gathered 'roundÂ
And didn't make a soundÂ
And the angels criedÂ
The angels knew what was to comeÂ
The reason God had sent His sonÂ
From up aboveÂ
It filled their hearts with joy to see andÂ
Knowing of His destinyÂ
Came tears of loveÂ
I've often thought about that nightÂ
And wondered if they realizedÂ
That star so brightÂ
Was sent to tell all the landÂ
The Son of God would soon becomeÂ
The Son of ManÂ
ChorusÂ
And the Angel CriedÂ
And the Angel Cried
The Angels Cried Lyrics by Alan Jackson
