Lamps in the windows,
Letting their light fall
Clear on the snow;
Bitter December
Bids us remember
Christ in the stable
Long, long ago.
2 Silence of idnight,
Voices of angels,
Singing to bid right
Yield to the dawn;
Darkness is ended,
Sinners befriended,
Where in the stable
Jesus is born.
3 Splendor of starlight
High on the hillside,
Faint is the far light
Burning below;
Kneeling before him
Shepherds adore him,
Christ in the stable
Long, long ago.
4 Glory of daybreak!
Sorrows and shadows,
Suddenly they break
Forth into morn;
Sing out and tell now
All shall be well now,
For in the stable
Jesus is born! Topics: Christmas Season; Incarnation; Jesus Christ Scripture: Luke 2:6-19 Languages: English Tune Title: PRIOR LAKE
