1. There’s a song in the air! There’s a star in the sky! There’s a mother’s deep prayer and a baby’s low cry! And the star rains its fire while the beautiful sing, for the manger of Bethlehem cradles a King!
2. There’s a tumult of joy o’er the wonderful birth, for the virgin’s sweet boy in the Lord of the earth. And the star rains its fire while the beautiful sing, for the manger of Bethlehem cradles a King!
3. In the light of that star lies redemption unfurled; and that song from afar has swet over the world. Ev’ry hearth is aflame, and the beautiful sing in the homes of the nations that Jesus is King!
4. We rejoice in the light and we echo the song that comes down through the night from the heavenly throng. And we shout to the lovely good news that they bring, and we greet in His cradle our Savior and King!
