There's a song in the air!
There's a star in the sky
There's a mothes' deep prayer
And a baby's low cry!
And the star rains its fire
While the Beautiful song
For the manger of Bethlehem
Cradles a King.
There's a tumult Of JOY
Ger the wonderful birth,
For the virgins small boy
Is the Lord of the earth.
Ay! the star rains its fire
And the Beautiful song
For the manger of Bethlehem
Cradles a King.
We rejoice in the light,
And we echo the song
That comes down thru the night
From the heavenly throng.
| Ay! we shout to the lovely
Evangel they bring
And we greet in His cradle
Our Savior and King.
In the light of that star
! See the ages impearled;
And the song from afar
Has swept over the world,
Every hearth is aflame,
And the Beautiful sing,
In the homes of the nations
THAT Jesus in King.
