How Brightly Shown The Moon Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C][G]
[D]How brightly shone the moon

[Verse 1]
[C]
[G]that night
But it couldn't [C]dim [D]the hol[G]y sta[C]r[G]
[D]And wise men came to [C]Bethlehem[G]
Bringing precious [C]gifts from [G]afar[Em]
[D]Would a rich man leave his [C]home
A thousand [D]miles [G]away[C]
To see a pauper's [G]birth?
[Em]Woul[D]d he risk his very life?[C]
It could [D]only [G]be [C]to see God's son

[Interlude 1]
on earth
[G][D][Am][D][C][G]

[Verse 2]
How crowded was [C]the town [G]that night?
Mary and [C]her child [G]found little peace
Some shepherds [D]rushed to
[C]Bethle[G]hem
Though they [C]were afraid, they went to [G]see

[Verse 3]
[Em]Woul[D]d a shepherd leave his f[C]lock
[D]To the wolves and [C]thieves
To see a pauper's [G]birth?[Em]
[D]If an angel told them [C]so
[D]It could only be [C]to see God's [Em]son on
[D]earth[C][G][Em][D][C][Em]
How [D]restless was [C]the King that [Em]night
[D]Just a new- born child
Or [Em]holy [A]flame?[Em]
King [D]Herod was [C]afraid of [G]Him
Shook him to his [Am]soul to hear
His [C]name[G][Em]

[Verse 4]
Could a mighty king [C]be scared
That he would [Em]lose his [Am]throne
[D]For a pauper's [G]birth?[Em]
Were the children slaughtered
[C]then
For Herod's [D]fear of fa[Em]cing [C]God
Through God's [D]son on [Em]earth?[D][C][Em]
[D][C][Em][D][C][Em][D][C][Cm][G]
How brightly [D]shone the [G]moon that night
But it couldn't [C]dim [G]the hol[C]y bir[G]th[D][G]
And greater love man cannot know
A father sent [C]his son [G]to die on earth

[Verse 5]
[Em]He came [D]into this barren world[C]
Gave [D]a glimpse of [G]heaven[C]
And [D]grace we don't de[G]serve[Em]
[D]Man was then as man is [C]now
Lined [G]the roads to Cal[D]vary[Am][G][D][C]
To [D]see God's son on [G]earth[D]
