Chalice Hymnal ‎#159

159. There's a Song in the Air!

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 angel choirs 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
is the Lord of the earth.
See, the star rains its fire while the angel choirs sing,
for the manger of Bethlehem cradles a king!

3 We rejoice in the light,
and we echo the song
that comes down through the night
from the heavenly throng,
and we welcome the glorious gospel they bring,
and we greet in the cradle our savior and king.
