Exclusive : "This Very Night the World Will Change" - lyrics

The single "I denna natt blir världen ny" from the 2007 Christmas album "Jul i Betlehem II - I denna natt blir världen ny" has been translated into "This Very Night the World Will Change" for the new album "Christmas in Bethlehem" that is released in Sweden tomorrow. Here is the English lyrics:
THIS VERY NIGHT THE WORLD WILL CHANGE

Bethlehem's resting so lonely and grey
Still angels will come to give praise and to play
Shepherds will wake up again they will say
Let's go to the stable to see
Night after night ancient soldiers have spent
Watching the place from a tower or a tent
But walls that surround the old town can't prevent
God's wonders from setting us free

This very night the world will change
In ways so wondrous and so strange
A song from earth will rise anew
When heaven's dreams come true

In a poor stable God's people will thrown
Right where God's peace and our freedom belong
Holy this moment and blessed our song
It rings from our faith and our love
Heaven now fills with a scent of the earth
God is embraced like a child after birth
No one can measure what this night is worth
Not even the stars up above

This very night the world will change
In ways so wondrous and so strange
A song from earth will rise anew
When heaven's dreams come true
This night the shepherds' laughs reside
Three wise men keeps this holy ground
As Bethlehem is ready found that all the world is new

From hill to hill a song rings tonight
From town to town a new hope has grown
Doors open up and walls are torn down
When Jesus is born in each and everyone

This very night the world will change
In ways so wondrous and so strange
A song from earth will rise anew
When heaven's dreams come true
This night the shepherds' laughs reside
Three wise men keeps this holy ground
As Bethlehem is ready found that all the world is new

Bethlehem's resting so lonely and grey
Still angels will come to give praise and to play
Shepherds will wake up again they will say
Let's go to the stable to see
The English lyrics are written by Erik Hillestad.
