1. There’s a song in the air!There’s a star in the sky!There’s a mother’s deep prayerand a baby’s low cry!And the star rains its firewhile the beautiful sing,for the manger of Bethlehemcradles a King!
2. There’s a tumult of joyo’er the wonderful birth,for the virgin’s sweet boyin the Lord of the earth.And the star rains its firewhile the beautiful sing,for the manger of Bethlehemcradles a King!
3. In the light of that starlies redemption unfurled;and that song from afarhas swet over the world.Ev’ry hearth is aflame,and the beautiful singin the homes of the nationsthat Jesus is King!
4. We rejoice in the lightand we echo the songthat comes down through the nightfrom the heavenly throng.And we shout to the lovelygood news that they bring,and we greet in His cradleour Savior and King!
