Lyrics of the song:


JEWEL IN THE NIGHT
(written by Dave and Chris Hadfield. Adapted from Dave hadfield 2000)



Spoken : « Jewel in the night – first recording from space station »
So bright, jewel in the night, there in my window below
So bright, dark as the night, with all our cities
Aglow

It’s long been our way, to honour this day
And offer goodwill to men
And know wherever we go
It’s come round to Christmas again

So far, shines every star, there without limit to see
So grand, far-away land, beckoning, calling to me

And let it be shown, wherever we go
In all of the wonders above
With all that we bring, there’s no finer thing
Than this message, the promise of love

Love for the families that gather below
Love for the stranger that you never know
For those who aren’t with you, who wander above…

So bright, jewel in the night, there lies the cradle we knew
Home of, all that we love, and all our memories too

It shall be our way, to wander away
And take with us all that we know
And never cease, this message of peace
From Bethlehem so long ago
And never cease, this message of peace
From Bethlehem so long ago



« traditions are important, especially when away from home, and sometimes a new focus to an ancient custom. This first space carol was especially poignant to sing while soaring so high over Bethlehem » (Chris Hadfield)
